Tyler Chatwood was a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2021 he struck out 38 batters over 32.0 innings across 32 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 5.63 was 31.9% higher than the league average of 4.27 — the second worst on his team, and 459th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.95 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 31.4% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.2%. 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.
