Josh Roenicke was a relief pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2013 he struck out 45 batters over 62.0 innings across 63 appearances, going 3-1. His ERA of 4.35 was 12.6% higher than the league average of 3.87 — 11th of 18 on his team, and 341st of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.64 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 19.0% of swings (8.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.0%. His -0.2 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.
