Lewis Thorpe was a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2021 he struck out 6 batters over 15.1 innings across 5 appearances, 4 of them starts, going 0-2. His ERA of 4.70 was 10.1% higher than the league average of 4.27. Stripping out defence, his 5.45 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 13.7% of swings (6.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 9.1%. His -0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Lewis Thorpe 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.
