Kevin Jarvis was a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2006 he struck out 13 batters over 28.0 innings across 9 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 7.71 was 70.4% higher than the league average of 4.53 — the worst on his team, and 453rd of 466 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.00 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 11.8% of swings (5.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.6%. His 0.1 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.
