Thomas Diamond was a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2010 he struck out 36 batters over 29.0 innings across 16 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 6.83 was 67.4% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 454th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.91 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 25.2% of swings (11.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.1%. His -0.0 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.
