Jason García was a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2015 he struck out 22 batters over 29.2 innings across 21 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.25 was 7.2% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 326th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.89 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.6% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. 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.
