Adam Kolarek was a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2023 he struck out 7 batters over 6.0 innings across 5 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 0.00 was 100.0% lower than the league average of 4.33. Stripping out defence, his 1.92 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.0% of swings (10.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 4.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 31.8%. 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.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

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.
