Pat Dean is a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2016 he struck out 50 batters over 67.1 innings across 19 appearances, going 1-6. His ERA of 6.28 was 49.9% higher than the league average of 4.19 — 16th of 18 on his team, and 469th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.20 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 15.7% of swings (7.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. His -0.3 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
