Nate Adcock is a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2015 he struck out 13 batters over 18.0 innings across 13 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 6.00 was 51.4% higher than the league average of 3.96. Stripping out defence, his 6.02 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.2% of swings (8.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.7%. 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.

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.
