Jamey Carroll was a third baseman for the Minnesota Twins. In 2013 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 11 RBIs, notching 48 hits across 249 plate appearances in 66 games. His batting average was .211, 16.6% lower than the league average of .253. He reached base at a .267 clip and slugged .251, for an OPS of .518, 27.4% lower than the league mark of .714 — the worst on his team, and 440th of 453 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He made contact on 89.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 45 wRC+ puts his offence 55% below average. That comes to -0.7 dbWAR — -14.9 runs with the bat, -0.1 for the ballpark, -0.2 on the bases, +1.0 on double plays, +1.5 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.
League context
