Tommy Hanson was a starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2013 he struck out 56 batters over 73.0 innings across 15 appearances, 13 of them starts, going 4-3. His ERA of 5.42 was 40.3% higher than the league average of 3.87 — 13th of 15 on his team, and 430th of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.65 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.9% of swings (7.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.1%. 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.

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.
