Daniel Cabrera was a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2009 he struck out 23 batters over 51.0 innings across 15 appearances, 9 of them starts, going 0-6. His ERA of 6.00 was 38.8% higher than the league average of 4.32 — 16th of 22 on his team, and 427th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.92 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 15.3% of swings (6.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 8.9%. His -0.4 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.
