Carlos Contreras is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2015 he struck out 19 batters over 28.0 innings across 22 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.82 was 21.7% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 13th of 20 on his team, and 395th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.42 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.3% of swings (11.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.2%. 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.
