Andrew Werner was a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2012 he struck out 35 batters over 40.1 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 2-3. His ERA of 5.58 was 39.0% higher than the league average of 4.01 — 19th of 22 on his team, and 422nd of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.09 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.6% of swings (7.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.8%. His 0.4 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.
