Jon Rauch was a relief pitcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2013 he struck out 15 batters over 16.2 innings across 15 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 7.56 was 95.6% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 3.47 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 19.1% of swings (9.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.8%. His 0.2 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.
