Andy Cavazos was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2007 he struck out 15 batters over 20.0 innings across 17 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 10.35 was 131.4% higher than the league average of 4.47 — the worst on his team, and the second worst among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.69 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 12.2% of swings (5.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.4%. His -0.6 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.

Not in the 2007 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.
