Mike Minor was a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2022 he struck out 76 batters over 98.0 innings across 19 appearances, 19 of them starts, going 4-12. His ERA of 6.06 was 52.7% higher than the league average of 3.97 — 15th of 21 on his team, and 500th of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.18 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 20.1% of swings (9.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.7%. His -1.3 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.

Mike Minor'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.
