Hector Carrasco was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2007 he struck out 33 batters over 38.1 innings across 29 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 6.57 was 47.0% higher than the league average of 4.47 — the worst on his team, and 436th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.11 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.1% of swings (10.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.6%. 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.

Not in the 2007 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.
