Ryan Kelly is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2015 he struck out 10 batters over 16.2 innings across 17 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 7.02 was 77.2% higher than the league average of 3.96. Stripping out defence, his 6.91 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (10.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.5%. His -0.5 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.
