Joel Hanrahan was a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2013 he struck out 5 batters over 7.1 innings across 9 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 9.82 was 154.0% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 11.23 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.9% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.5%. His -0.6 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.
