Jared Burton was a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2014 he struck out 46 batters over 64.0 innings across 68 appearances, going 3-5. His ERA of 4.36 was 16.5% higher than the league average of 3.74 — 8th of 17 on his team, and 330th of 477 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.23 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.9%. His 0.0 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.
