Ray Kerr is a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2024 he struck out 27 batters over 22.1 innings across 10 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 5.64 was 38.3% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 468th of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.42 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 35.5% of swings (17.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 26.2%. His 0.1 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.
