Trevor Hoffman was a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2010 he struck out 30 batters over 47.1 innings across 50 appearances, going 2-7. His ERA of 5.89 was 44.5% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 423rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.21 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.3% of swings (7.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.6%. 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.
