Paul Wilson was a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2005 he struck out 30 batters over 46.1 innings across 9 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 1-5. His ERA of 7.77 was 81.1% higher than the league average of 4.29 — the second worst on his team, and 437th of 442 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.89 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 13.0% of swings (6.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.4%. His -0.3 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 2005 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.
