Wily Peralta was a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2022 he struck out 32 batters over 38.1 innings across 28 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 2.58 was 34.9% lower than the league average of 3.97 — the second best on his team, and 82nd of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.08 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 21.7% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.0%. His 0.2 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.
