Elvis Luciano was a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2019 he struck out 27 batters over 33.2 innings across 25 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 5.35 was 18.7% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 18th of 23 on his team, and 384th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.56 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.3% of swings (11.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.0%. 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.
