Alex Reyes was a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2021 he struck out 95 batters over 72.1 innings across 70 appearances, going 10-8. His ERA of 3.24 was 24.2% lower than the league average of 4.27 — 6th of 19 on his team, and 142nd of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.40 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 35.0% of swings (15.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 16.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.0%. 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.
