Carlos Fisher was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2011 he struck out 17 batters over 24.0 innings across 17 appearances, going 0-3. His ERA of 4.50 was 14.1% higher than the league average of 3.94 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 331st of 457 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.73 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 19.6% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.5%. 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.

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.
