Devin Sweet is a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2023 he struck out 6 batters over 8.2 innings across 7 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 10.38 was 139.7% higher than the league average of 4.33. Stripping out defence, his 10.64 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 22.4% of swings (10.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 14.0%. His -0.5 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.
