LaTroy Hawkins was a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2015 he struck out 34 batters over 38.2 innings across 42 appearances, going 3-1. His ERA of 3.26 was 17.7% lower than the league average of 3.96 — the best on his team, and 148th of 513 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.26 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 17.0% of swings (8.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.0%. His 0.7 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.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
