Christian Garcia was a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2012 he struck out 15 batters over 12.2 innings across 13 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 2.13 was 46.9% lower than the league average of 4.01. Stripping out defence, his 3.73 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 43.8% of swings (20.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.3%. 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

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.
