Anthony Bass is a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2023 he struck out 19 batters over 20.0 innings across 22 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.95 was 14.3% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 13th of 16 on his team, and 390th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.66 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 30.8% of swings (13.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.6%. His 0.0 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.
