Ross Ohlendorf was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2016 he struck out 68 batters over 65.2 innings across 64 appearances, going 5-7. His ERA of 4.66 was 11.2% higher than the league average of 4.19 — 11th of 19 on his team, and 327th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.58 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.4%. His -0.7 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.
