Fernando Salas was a relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2019 he struck out 3 batters over 2.2 innings across 3 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 6.75 was 49.8% higher than the league average of 4.51. Stripping out defence, his 5.84 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 18.8% of swings (9.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 0.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.0%. His -0.0 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.

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.

Opponent batting by the side the hitter bats from, 2019. Counted from play-by-play, so totals can differ from the box-score season line by a plate appearance or two.

Fernando Salas'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.
