Johnny Hellweg was a starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2013 he struck out 9 batters over 30.2 innings across 8 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 1-4. His ERA of 6.75 was 74.6% higher than the league average of 3.87 — the second worst on his team, and 474th of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 9.7% of swings (3.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 5.6%. His -0.8 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.
