Pedro Payano was a starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2019 he struck out 17 batters over 22.0 innings across 6 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 1-2. His ERA of 5.73 was 27.1% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 11th of 19 on his team, and 429th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.62 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 26.4% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.5%. 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.
