Jamie Moyer was a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2012 he struck out 36 batters over 53.2 innings across 10 appearances, 10 of them starts, going 2-5. His ERA of 5.70 was 42.0% higher than the league average of 4.01 — 15th of 19 on his team, and 428th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.54 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.7% of swings (9.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.2%. His -0.1 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.
