Jarred Cosart was a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2017 he struck out 15 batters over 24.0 innings across 7 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 0-2. His ERA of 4.88 was 11.9% higher than the league average of 4.36 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 359th of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.53 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.7% of swings (8.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.2%. 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.
