Matt Moore is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2024 he struck out 41 batters over 48.1 innings across 51 appearances, going 5-3. His ERA of 5.03 was 23.3% higher than the league average of 4.08 — 11th of 19 on his team, and 421st of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.17 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.6% of swings (12.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.5%. His -0.9 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.
