Ricardo Rodríguez is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2018 he struck out 3 batters over 6.2 innings across 4 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.05 was 2.4% lower than the league average of 4.15. Stripping out defence, his 2.71 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 13.3% of swings (6.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 3.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.7%. 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.

Put Ricardo Rodríguez 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.
