Octavio Dotel was a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2013 he struck out 4 batters over 4.2 innings across 6 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 13.50 was 249.2% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 3.91 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 12.5% of swings (6.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. 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.

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.
