Felix Rodriguez was a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2006 he struck out 15 batters over 29.1 innings across 31 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 7.67 was 69.4% higher than the league average of 4.53 — the worst on his team, and 452nd of 466 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.39 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 14.0% of swings (6.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 10.9%. 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.

Not in the 2006 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.
