Aaron Loup was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2023 he struck out 45 batters over 48.2 innings across 55 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 6.10 was 40.9% higher than the league average of 4.33 — the second worst on his team, and 486th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.36 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.8% of swings (10.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.5%. His 0.2 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.
