Bryan Bullington was a relief pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2010 he struck out 29 batters over 42.2 innings across 13 appearances, going 1-4. His ERA of 6.12 was 50.0% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 14th of 17 on his team, and 432nd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.02 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.7% of swings (7.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.8%. His -0.1 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.
