Karl Kauffmann was a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2023 he struck out 16 batters over 35.0 innings across 11 appearances, going 2-5. His ERA of 8.23 was 90.0% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 19th of 21 on his team, and 543rd of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.91 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.2% of swings (7.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.1%. His -0.4 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.
