Andrew Faulkner is a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2016 he struck out 1 batter over 6.2 innings across 9 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 6.75 was 61.1% higher than the league average of 4.19. Stripping out defence, his 10.50 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 10.0% of swings (4.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 12.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 3.1%. His -0.4 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.
