Vinnie Pestano is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2015 he struck out 13 batters over 11.2 innings across 19 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 5.40 was 36.3% higher than the league average of 3.96. Stripping out defence, his 6.56 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 29.7% of swings (14.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 21.7%. His -0.3 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.

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.
