Barret Browning was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2012 he struck out 11 batters over 19.1 innings across 22 appearances, going 1-3. His ERA of 5.12 was 27.5% higher than the league average of 4.01. Stripping out defence, his 4.39 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.8% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.1%. 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.

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.
