Yoervis Medina is a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2015 he struck out 16 batters over 21.0 innings across 17 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 4.71 was 19.0% higher than the league average of 3.96 — 14th of 18 on his team, and 385th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.42 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.0% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.5%. His -0.0 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.
