Steve Schmoll was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2005 he struck out 29 batters over 46.2 innings across 48 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 5.01 was 16.9% higher than the league average of 4.29 — 10th of 15 on his team, and 311th of 442 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.50 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 17.5% of swings (7.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.1%. 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.

Not in the 2005 data: pitch types, recorded in every park from 2008. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.

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.
