Edwin Escobar was a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2016 he struck out 17 batters over 23.2 innings across 25 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 7.23 was 72.5% higher than the league average of 4.19 — the second worst on his team, and 493rd of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.94 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.6% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.7%. 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.
