Giovanny Gallegos was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2024 he struck out 21 batters over 20.2 innings across 21 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 6.53 was 60.1% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the worst on his team, and 509th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.36 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 26.7% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.3%. 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.
