Mark McLemore was a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2007 he struck out 35 batters over 35.0 innings across 29 appearances, going 3-0. His ERA of 3.86 was 13.8% lower than the league average of 4.47 — 5th of 16 on his team, and 167th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.73 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.2% of swings (12.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.7%. 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 2007 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.
