Dewayne Wise was a center fielder for the Chicago White Sox. In 2013 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 15 hits across 66 plate appearances in 25 games. His batting average was .234, 7.5% lower than the league average of .253. He reached base at a .258 clip and slugged .328, for an OPS of .586, 18.0% lower than the league mark of .714. He made contact on 76.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 61 wRC+ puts his offence 39% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -2.8 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, -0.2 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, +0.3 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 .253.

Situational hitting

How Dewayne Wise hits by base state, outs, score and late-game pressure — each read against his own season line.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2013.

Pitch arsenal

What he throws, how hard, how often it misses, and what hitters do with it.


Changeup	94.7%	18	75.5	1,779	27.8%	0.0%	5	—	—

Dewayne Wise's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

Not in the 2013 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.
