Adalberto Mendez was a starting pitcher for the Florida Marlins. In 2010 he struck out 11 batters over 24.2 innings across 5 appearances, 5 of them starts, going 1-3. His ERA of 5.11 was 25.2% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 371st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.58 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 16.9% of swings (7.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.1%. 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.
