Cody Allen was a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2019 he struck out 29 batters over 23.0 innings across 25 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 6.26 was 39.0% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 16th of 21 on his team, and 472nd of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 8.39 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.8% of swings (10.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 17.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.0%. His -0.8 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.
