Corey Knebel was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2022 he struck out 41 batters over 44.2 innings across 46 appearances, going 3-5. His ERA of 3.43 was 13.7% lower than the league average of 3.97 — 8th of 15 on his team, and 206th of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.46 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (12.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.1%. 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.
