Jefry Rodriguez was a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2021 he struck out 20 batters over 24.1 innings across 14 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.92 was 38.7% higher than the league average of 4.27 — 21st of 23 on his team, and 480th of 567 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.95 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 20.2% of swings (9.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.9%. His -0.6 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.

How these are computed

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.
