Norge Ruiz is a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2022 he struck out 18 batters over 19.0 innings across 14 appearances, going 0-1. His ERA of 7.11 was 79.0% higher than the league average of 3.97. Stripping out defence, his 5.38 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 21.3% of swings (10.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 19.1%. 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.

Head to head
Put Norge Ruiz 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.
