John Holdzkom was a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2014 he struck out 14 batters over 9.0 innings across 9 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 2.00 was 46.5% lower than the league average of 3.74. Stripping out defence, his 2.13 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 28.6% of swings (12.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 43.8%. 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.

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.
