Mike Stanton was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2007 he struck out 40 batters over 57.2 innings across 69 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 5.93 was 32.6% higher than the league average of 4.47 — 16th of 18 on his team, and 406th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.40 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.4% of swings (10.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.2%. 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.

Not in the 2007 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.
