Chad Billingsley was a starting pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2015 he struck out 15 batters over 37.0 innings across 7 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.84 was 47.4% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 16th of 22 on his team, and 460th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.81 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 14.6% of swings (6.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.1%. 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.
