Edgar Santana was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2021 he struck out 33 batters over 42.2 innings across 41 appearances, going 3-0. His ERA of 3.59 was 15.9% lower than the league average of 4.27 — 8th of 19 on his team, and 200th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.60 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.6% of swings (13.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.9%. His 0.1 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.
