Trevor May was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2023 he struck out 40 batters over 46.2 innings across 49 appearances, going 4-4. His ERA of 3.28 was 24.3% lower than the league average of 4.33 — the third best on his team, and 117th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.71 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 23.6% of swings (10.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.5%. 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.
