Mark Mulder was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2008 he struck out 2 batters over 1.2 innings across 3 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 10.80 was 149.8% higher than the league average of 4.32. Stripping out defence, his 6.13 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 7.1% of swings (2.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. 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.
