Andrew Cashner was a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2019 he struck out 108 batters over 150.0 innings across 42 appearances, 23 of them starts, going 11-8. His ERA of 4.68 was 3.9% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 12th of 20 on his team, and 303rd of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.66 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.5% of swings (10.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.0%. His 1.2 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.
