Adam Morgan was a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2021 he struck out 28 batters over 25.1 innings across 34 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.26 was level with the league average of 4.27 — 7th of 20 on his team, and 298th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.58 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 32.8% of swings (14.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.9%. 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.
