This year Ryan Franklin was an enigma. Thanks to a nifty .269 BABIP (compared to a league average of .300) and an 85.7 strand rate (compared to a league average of 70%), his production was far better than you would expect based off of his peripheral statistics. His ERA was excellent at 1.92; however, his FIP was a good, not great, 3.31. And due to a super low HR/FB ratio, his xFIP was even higher, at 4.23. Simply put, his career year wasn't so great when you adjust for luck.
