Michael Schwimer was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2012 he struck out 36 batters over 34.1 innings across 35 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 4.46 was 11.0% higher than the league average of 4.01 — 10th of 16 on his team, and 321st of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.71 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 32.2% of swings (15.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.5%. His 0.3 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.
