Lance Broadway was a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2009 he struck out 18 batters over 30.2 innings across 16 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 5.87 was 35.8% higher than the league average of 4.32 — the second worst on his team, and 416th of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.39 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 24.1% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.6%. His 0.5 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.
