Trevor Bauer was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2021 he struck out 137 batters over 107.2 innings across 17 appearances, 17 of them starts, going 8-5. His ERA of 2.59 was 39.3% lower than the league average of 4.27 — 7th of 18 on his team, and 59th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.03 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 30.3% of swings (13.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.7%. His 1.6 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.
