Travis Schlichting was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2010 he struck out 14 batters over 22.2 innings across 14 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 3.57 was 12.4% lower than the league average of 4.08 — 6th of 17 on his team, and 161st of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.17 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 11.9% of swings (5.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.3%. 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.

BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
