Angel Nesbitt is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2015 he struck out 14 batters over 21.2 innings across 24 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 5.40 was 36.3% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 13th of 22 on his team, and 435th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.70 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.7% of swings (9.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. His -0.1 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.
