Randy Wolf is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2015 he struck out 28 batters over 34.2 innings across 8 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 0-5. His ERA of 6.23 was 57.3% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 18th of 22 on his team, and 477th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.78 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.2% of swings (7.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.4%. His 0.0 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.
