Mark Rogers was a starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2012 he struck out 41 batters over 39.0 innings across 7 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 3-1. His ERA of 3.92 was 2.3% lower than the league average of 4.01 — 9th of 17 on his team, and 262nd of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.81 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 27.9% of swings (11.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.8%. His 0.6 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.
