Will Ohman was a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2012 he struck out 13 batters over 26.2 innings across 32 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 6.41 was 59.7% higher than the league average of 4.01 — 13th of 15 on his team, and 460th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.28 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.2% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.6%. His -0.5 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.
