Jason Lane was a pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2014 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .333, 32.7% higher than the league average of .251. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .667, 4.8% lower than the league mark of .700. He made contact on 75.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 94 wRC+ puts his offence 6% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.0 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, +0.4 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.

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.
