Dan Giese was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2009 he struck out 11 batters over 22.0 innings across 7 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 5.32 was 23.1% higher than the league average of 4.32 — 12th of 18 on his team, and 367th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.28 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 14.5% of swings (6.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.7%. His -0.3 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.
