Shane Loux was a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2012 he struck out 9 batters over 25.1 innings across 19 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.97 was 23.9% higher than the league average of 4.01 — 11th of 14 on his team, and 373rd of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.99 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 13.9% of swings (6.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 8.0%. His -0.2 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.
