Sam Dyson was a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2019 he struck out 55 batters over 62.1 innings across 61 appearances, going 5-1. His ERA of 3.32 was 26.3% lower than the league average of 4.51 — 4th of 18 on his team, and 99th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.47 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 18.5% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.1%. His 1.0 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.
