Mark Redman was a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2008 he struck out 20 batters over 45.1 innings across 10 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 2-5. His ERA of 7.54 was 74.5% higher than the league average of 4.32 — the second worst on his team, and 460th of 482 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.38 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 11.7% of swings (5.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.5%. 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
