Blake Hawksworth was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2011 he struck out 43 batters over 53.0 innings across 49 appearances, going 2-5. His ERA of 4.08 was 3.4% higher than the league average of 3.94 — 13th of 17 on his team, and 273rd of 457 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.84 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.3% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.6%. His 0.3 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.

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.
