Brad Halsey was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2006 he struck out 53 batters over 94.1 innings across 52 appearances, going 5-4. His ERA of 4.67 was 3.3% higher than the league average of 4.53 — 10th of 14 on his team, and 266th of 466 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.16 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 15.9% of swings (7.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.3%. 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.

Not in the 2006 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.
