Mike Wood was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2007 he struck out 25 batters over 50.2 innings across 21 appearances, going 3-2. His ERA of 5.33 was 19.1% higher than the league average of 4.47 — 14th of 19 on his team, and 353rd of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.69 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.4% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.7%. 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.
