Jeff Manship is a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. In 2016 he struck out 36 batters over 43.1 innings across 53 appearances, going 2-1. His ERA of 3.12 was 25.6% lower than the league average of 4.19 — 4th of 14 on his team, and 110th of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.11 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 28.9% of swings (12.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.0%. 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.
