Greg Smith was a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2010 he struck out 31 batters over 39.0 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 1-2. His ERA of 6.23 was 52.7% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 439th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.08 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 26.4% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.0%. His -0.4 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.
