Juan Pierre was a left fielder for the Miami Marlins. In 2013 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 8 RBIs, notching 76 hits across 330 plate appearances in 112 games. His batting average was .247, 2.6% lower than the league average of .253. He reached base at a .284 clip and slugged .305, for an OPS of .589, 17.5% lower than the league mark of .714 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 397th of 453 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He made contact on 90.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 64 wRC+ puts his offence 36% below average. That comes to -0.6 dbWAR — -12.9 runs with the bat, -0.2 for the ballpark, +2.0 on the bases, +0.5 on double plays, -3.8 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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Counted from play-by-play, 2013.

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.
