Derek Jeter was a shortstop for the New York Yankees. In 2014 he hit 4 home runs and knocked in 50 RBIs, notching 149 hits across 634 plate appearances in 145 games. His batting average was .256, 2.1% higher than the league average of .251. He reached base at a .304 clip and slugged .313, for an OPS of .617, 11.9% lower than the league mark of .700 — 11th of 14 on his team, and 347th of 443 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He made contact on 85.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 78 wRC+ puts his offence 22% below average. That comes to 1.1 dbWAR — -15.5 runs with the bat, +0.5 for the ballpark, +0.6 on the bases, +1.1 on double plays, +6.5 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.

Batting average by location of the pitch that ended each plate appearance, catcher's view. The bordered square is the strike zone; the outer band is chase territory. Cells with fewer than 8 at-bats are left grey rather than shown as signal. League average on the same attribution is .251.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Counted from play-by-play, 2014.

Not in the 2014 data: exit velocity and launch angle, first recorded in 2015. The play-by-play goes back to 2005, but the measurements on each pitch and batted ball arrived later, so the panels built from them are left off this season.

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.
