Jonathan Holder was a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. In 2020 he struck out 14 batters over 21.2 innings across 19 appearances, going 3-0. His ERA of 4.98 was 11.9% higher than the league average of 4.45 — 9th of 12 on his team, and 241st of 323 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.22 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 24.1% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 13.9%. 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.

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.
