Lance Cormier was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2011 he struck out 7 batters over 13.2 innings across 9 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 9.88 was 150.6% higher than the league average of 3.94. Stripping out defence, his 6.90 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 12.1% of swings (5.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.0%. His -0.4 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.
