I mean yeah, that season, his FIP didn't correlate to ERA. But with larger, multi-season samples it definitely will do a better job.

I am not joking.

It seems abundantly clear the main driver of his ERA in 2036 was just giving up more hits. Hits are outside the control of the pitcher (as modeled in the game) and so it doesn't really make sense to look at that year as being bad. He was just unlucky.

Could it be that he is more exposed to the vagaries of BABIP because his stuff rating is relatively low?
