Jordan Balazovic is a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2023 he struck out 17 batters over 24.1 innings across 18 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.44 was 2.5% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 13th of 19 on his team, and 317th of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.01 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 18.1% of swings (8.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.7%. 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.
