Adalberto Mejía was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2019 he struck out 30 batters over 31.1 innings across 35 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 6.61 was 46.6% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 18th of 21 on his team, and 492nd of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.97 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.6% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.7%. 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.
