Louis Head is a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2022 he struck out 26 batters over 28.2 innings across 28 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 6.28 was 58.2% higher than the league average of 3.97 — the second worst on his team, and 508th of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.21 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.4% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.8%. 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.
