Endy Chavez was a right fielder for the Seattle Mariners. In 2014 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 23 RBIs, notching 64 hits across 258 plate appearances in 74 games. His batting average was .276, 9.8% higher than the league average of .251. He reached base at a .317 clip and slugged .371, for an OPS of .688, 1.7% lower than the league mark of .700 — 7th of 15 on his team, and 232nd of 443 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He made contact on 84.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 102 wRC+ puts his offence 2% above average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -0.9 runs with the bat, +0.7 for the ballpark, +0.0 on the bases, +0.1 on double plays, -2.7 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.

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.
