Eric Skoglund was a starting pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. In 2019 he struck out 4 batters over 21.0 innings across 6 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 0-3. His ERA of 9.00 was 99.8% higher than the league average of 4.51 — the worst on his team, and 537th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 7.36 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 12.0% of swings (5.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 4.0%. 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.
