John Halama was a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2006 he struck out 12 batters over 29.1 innings across 17 appearances, going 3-1. His ERA of 6.14 was 35.6% higher than the league average of 4.53 — 13th of 16 on his team, and 405th of 466 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.32 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.7% of swings (7.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.1%. 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 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.
