Roberto Hernandez was a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. In 2007 he struck out 31 batters over 46.1 innings across 50 appearances, going 3-3. His ERA of 6.41 was 43.3% higher than the league average of 4.47 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 429th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.12 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.5% of swings (8.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.0%. His -0.0 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

Not in the 2007 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.

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.
