Ross Stripling is a starting pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2024 he struck out 49 batters over 85.1 innings across 22 appearances, 14 of them starts, going 2-11. His ERA of 6.01 was 47.4% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 488th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.89 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 16.9% of swings (8.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 5.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.9%. 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.
