Ross Wolf was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2013 he struck out 21 batters over 47.2 innings across 22 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 4.15 was 7.4% higher than the league average of 3.87 — 12th of 17 on his team, and 316th of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.54 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 13.7% of swings (6.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.1%. 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.
