Dillon Overton was a relief pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. In 2017 he struck out 11 batters over 23.0 innings across 10 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 6.65 was 52.6% higher than the league average of 4.36 — the worst on his team, and 487th of 527 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.24 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.9% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 3.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.7%. 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.
