Chris Bootcheck was a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2013 he struck out 1 batter over 1.0 inning across 1 appearance, going 0-0. His ERA of 9.00 was 132.8% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 7.05 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 13.3% of swings (6.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 28.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. 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.
