Ty Buttrey was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2020 he struck out 18 batters over 26.1 innings across 27 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.81 was 30.5% higher than the league average of 4.45 — the second worst on his team, and 271st of 323 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.94 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.0% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.1%. 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.
