That's what I love about baseball.....the tons of stats.
Watching the new Yankee, Clay Holmes.
Been excellent since the Yankees picked him up.
I wasn't impressed with him when the Yanks got him, pretty much a lifetime over 5 ERA.
I don't know if Pittsburgh is a terrible fielding team, but.....
.....there is a stat called FIP....
For example: If a pitcher has surrendered a high average on balls in play, his FIP will likely be lower than his ERA. Balls in play are not part of the FIP equation because a pitcher is believed to have limited control over their outcome.
And his FIP is way better that that ERA would lead one to believe.

Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP)
Definition
FIP is similar to ERA, but it focuses solely on the events a pitcher has the most control over -- strikeouts, unintentional walks, hit-by-pitches and home runs. It entirely removes results on balls hit into the field of play.For example: If a pitcher has surrendered a high average on balls in play, his FIP will likely be lower than his ERA. Balls in play are not part of the FIP equation because a pitcher is believed to have limited control over their outcome.
The formula
Where the "FIP constant" puts FIP onto the same scale as the entire league's ERA: ((HR x 13) + (3 x (BB + HBP)) - (2 x K)) / IP + FIP constant."Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) | Glossary | MLB.com
