Tim Stauffer is a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2015 he struck out 14 batters over 20.2 innings across 18 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 6.97 was 75.9% higher than the league average of 3.96 — the worst on his team, and 498th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.00 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 15.6% of swings (6.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.0%. 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.
