Chang-Yong Lim was a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2013 he struck out 5 batters over 5.0 innings across 6 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.40 was 39.7% higher than the league average of 3.87. Stripping out defence, his 5.85 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 22.4% of swings (8.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 25.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.5%. His -0.1 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.

Chang-Yong Lim's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
