Scott Oberg was a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2019 he struck out 58 batters over 56.0 innings across 49 appearances, going 6-1. His ERA of 2.25 was 50.1% lower than the league average of 4.51 — the best on his team, and 20th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.54 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 28.2% of swings (13.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.0%. His 1.1 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.

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.
