Ramon Pena was a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2011 he struck out 17 batters over 20.1 innings across 17 appearances, going 1-1. His ERA of 6.20 was 57.2% higher than the league average of 3.94 — the worst on his team, and 430th of 457 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.11 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.3% of swings (8.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.5%. His 0.1 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.

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.
