Cory Rasmus was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2016 he struck out 17 batters over 24.2 innings across 19 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 5.84 was 39.3% higher than the league average of 4.19 — 18th of 21 on his team, and 442nd of 512 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.94 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.9% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.9%. His -0.4 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

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.
