John Rheinecker was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2007 he struck out 40 batters over 50.1 innings across 23 appearances, going 4-3. His ERA of 5.36 was 19.9% higher than the league average of 4.47 — 16th of 19 on his team, and 356th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.76 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.8% of swings (9.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. His -0.3 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.
