Arthur Rhodes was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2011 he struck out 21 batters over 33.0 innings across 51 appearances, going 3-4. His ERA of 4.64 was 17.6% higher than the league average of 3.94 — 11th of 13 on his team, and 344th of 457 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.90 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 14.8% of swings (6.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.2%. His -0.5 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.
