Eric Stout is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2022 he struck out 25 batters over 22.1 innings across 20 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 5.64 was 42.2% higher than the league average of 3.97 — 17th of 20 on his team, and 473rd of 546 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.59 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 26.7% of swings (11.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 22.7%. 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.

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.
