James Houser was a relief pitcher for the Florida Marlins. In 2010 he struck out 1 batter over 1.1 innings across 1 appearance, going 0-0. His ERA of 20.25 was 396.4% higher than the league average of 4.08. Stripping out defence, his 15.83 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.7% of swings (6.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 11.1%. His -0.2 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.
