Ramon Troncoso was a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2013 he struck out 18 batters over 30.0 innings across 29 appearances, going 1-4. His ERA of 4.50 was 16.4% higher than the league average of 3.87 — 12th of 17 on his team, and 357th of 496 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.28 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.1% of swings (9.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 11.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.1%. His -0.3 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.

Ramon Troncoso's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. 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.
