Chase Anderson is a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 2024 he struck out 42 batters over 58.1 innings across 29 appearances, going 0-2. His ERA of 5.40 was 32.4% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the second worst on his team, and 453rd of 541 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.69 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 23.8% of swings (11.0% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 16.5%. His -0.8 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.
