Kodi Whitley is a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2022 he struck out 12 batters over 12.2 innings across 14 appearances, going 2-0. His ERA of 5.68 was 43.2% higher than the league average of 3.97. Stripping out defence, his 5.88 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 25.8% of swings (12.5% of every pitch he threw), walked 15.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 20.3%. 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.

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.
