Tim Byrdak was a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2013 he struck out 3 batters over 4.2 innings across 8 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 7.71 was 99.5% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 8.62 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.0% of swings (7.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. His -0.2 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.
