Elvis Araujo was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2016 he struck out 29 batters over 27.1 innings across 32 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 5.60 was 33.6% higher than the league average of 4.19 — 12th of 18 on his team, and 420th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.01 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (11.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.6%. His -0.1 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.
