Luis Marte was a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2012 he struck out 19 batters over 22.1 innings across 13 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 2.82 was 29.7% lower than the league average of 4.01 — the third best on his team, and 101st of 484 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.06 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.0% of swings (12.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.7% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.4%. His -0.1 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.

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.
