Mauricio Llovera is a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2023 he struck out 29 batters over 35.0 innings across 30 appearances, going 2-3. His ERA of 4.89 was 12.8% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 11th of 20 on his team, and 382nd of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.34 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.7% of swings (7.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.1%. His 0.2 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.
