Frank Garces is a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2015 he struck out 30 batters over 38.0 innings across 40 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 5.21 was 31.5% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 15th of 17 on his team, and 422nd of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.45 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.7% of swings (10.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.3%. His -0.9 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.
