Buddy Boshers is a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2019 he struck out 26 batters over 20.0 innings across 28 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 4.05 was 10.1% lower than the league average of 4.51 — 7th of 23 on his team, and 206th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.21 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.3% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.6%. His 0.2 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.
