Andrés Machado is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2023 he struck out 43 batters over 50.0 innings across 44 appearances, going 4-1. His ERA of 5.22 was 20.5% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 12th of 21 on his team, and 422nd of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.50 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 24.0% of swings (12.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.8%. His -0.4 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.
