Jonny Venters was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2019 he struck out 12 batters over 8.0 innings across 12 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 12.38 was 174.7% higher than the league average of 4.51. Stripping out defence, his 9.59 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.8% of swings (9.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 20.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 24.5%. His -0.4 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.
