Brian Shouse was a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2009 he struck out 17 batters over 28.0 innings across 45 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 4.50 was 4.1% higher than the league average of 4.32 — 11th of 14 on his team, and 281st of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.17 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 12.5% of swings (5.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.9%. 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.
