Mauricio Cabrera is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2016 he struck out 32 batters over 38.1 innings across 41 appearances, going 5-1. His ERA of 2.82 was 32.8% lower than the league average of 4.19 — the best on his team, and 76th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.04 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 27.1% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.8%. His 0.7 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.
