Dillon Maples is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2021 he struck out 40 batters over 31.1 innings across 28 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 2.59 was 39.4% lower than the league average of 4.27 — the third best on his team, and 58th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.61 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 30.5% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 18.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.8%. His 0.0 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.
