Josh Edgin was a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2017 he struck out 27 batters over 37.0 innings across 46 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 3.65 was 16.3% lower than the league average of 4.36 — 5th of 22 on his team, and 167th of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.62 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.3% of swings (10.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.3%. 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.
