Brett Tomko was a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2011 he struck out 14 batters over 17.2 innings across 8 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 4.58 was 16.3% higher than the league average of 3.94. Stripping out defence, his 6.08 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.0% of swings (8.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.9%. His -0.3 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.

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.
