Ramón Ortiz was a starting pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2013 he struck out 8 batters over 25.1 innings across 7 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 1-2. His ERA of 6.04 was 56.2% higher than the league average of 3.87 — 18th of 20 on his team, and 456th of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.43 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 17.5% of swings (8.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 6.8%. His -0.9 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.
