David Riske was a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2010 he struck out 16 batters over 23.1 innings across 23 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.01 was 22.9% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 360th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.11 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.2% of swings (10.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.4%. His 0.1 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.
