Michael Brady is a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2017 he struck out 24 batters over 31.2 innings across 16 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.68 was 30.4% higher than the league average of 4.36 — 16th of 21 on his team, and 441st of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.56 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.5% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.6%. 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.
