Charlie Haeger was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2010 he struck out 30 batters over 30.0 innings across 9 appearances, 6 of them starts, going 0-4. His ERA of 8.40 was 105.9% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the worst on his team, and 463rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.51 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.7% of swings (8.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 17.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.9%. 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.

How these are computed

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.
