Justin Grimm was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2022 he struck out 11 batters over 15.1 innings across 15 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.11 was 3.5% higher than the league average of 3.97. Stripping out defence, his 4.29 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 24.6% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 9.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.5%. His 0.0 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.
