Tyson Ross was a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2019 he struck out 25 batters over 35.1 innings across 7 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 1-5. His ERA of 6.11 was 35.7% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 16th of 21 on his team, and 462nd of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.99 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 16.9% of swings (7.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.4%. His -0.1 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.
