Rowan Wick is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2022 he struck out 69 batters over 64.0 innings across 64 appearances, going 4-7. His ERA of 4.22 was 6.3% higher than the league average of 3.97 — 16th of 21 on his team, and 323rd of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.19 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (11.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.5%. 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.
