Mike Bacsik was a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2007 he struck out 45 batters over 118.0 innings across 29 appearances, 20 of them starts, going 5-8. His ERA of 5.11 was 14.2% higher than the league average of 4.47 — 15th of 21 on his team, and 331st of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.23 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 12.2% of swings (5.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 8.7%. His -1.2 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.

Not in the 2007 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.
