Jairo Díaz is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2020 he struck out 17 batters over 20.0 innings across 24 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 7.65 was 71.8% higher than the league average of 4.45 — the second worst on his team, and 310th of 323 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.64 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.5% of swings (10.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.0%. His -0.4 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.
