Doug Mathis was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2010 he struck out 10 batters over 22.1 innings across 13 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 6.04 was 48.2% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the worst on his team, and 430th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.74 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 15.0% of swings (6.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.0%. His -0.8 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.
