Victor Alcántara is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2019 he struck out 24 batters over 42.2 innings across 46 appearances, going 3-2. His ERA of 4.85 was 7.7% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 11th of 21 on his team, and 334th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.72 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.9% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.2%. His -0.3 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.
