Mike Smith was a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2006 he struck out 1 batter over 3.0 innings across 1 appearance, 1 of them starts, going 0-0. His ERA of 12.00 was 165.1% higher than the league average of 4.53. Stripping out defence, his 10.81 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 14.3% of swings (6.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 5.6%. 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.

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.
