Stefan Crichton is a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2021 he struck out 17 batters over 23.1 innings across 31 appearances, going 0-4. His ERA of 7.33 was 71.8% higher than the league average of 4.27 — the second worst on his team, and 546th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.44 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 15.4% of swings (6.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.5%. 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.
