Albert Abreu is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2023 he struck out 61 batters over 59.0 innings across 45 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 4.73 was 9.2% higher than the league average of 4.33 — 15th of 18 on his team, and 361st of 550 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.26 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 26.3% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.8%. His -0.3 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.
