Andrew McKirahan was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2015 he struck out 22 batters over 27.1 innings across 27 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 5.93 was 49.6% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 20th of 23 on his team, and 467th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.79 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.2% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.1%. 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.
