Luis Oviedo is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2021 he struck out 31 batters over 29.2 innings across 22 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 8.80 was 106.2% higher than the league average of 4.27 — the worst on his team, and 563rd of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.66 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.7% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 17.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.1%. 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.
