Chris Hammond was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2006 he struck out 23 batters over 28.2 innings across 29 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 6.91 was 52.6% higher than the league average of 4.53 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 435th of 466 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.33 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.8% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.4%. 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.

Not in the 2006 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.
