Tyler Sturdevant is a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2016 he struck out 14 batters over 18.1 innings across 16 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 3.93 was 6.3% lower than the league average of 4.19. Stripping out defence, his 3.47 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 22.1% of swings (11.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.7%. 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.

Put Tyler Sturdevant beside up to three others.
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.
