Shane Victorino was a right fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2015 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 7 RBIs, notching 41 hits across 204 plate appearances in 67 games. His batting average was .230, 9.5% lower than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .308 clip and slugged .292, for an OPS of .601, 16.7% lower than the league mark of .721 — 10th of 12 on his team, and 387th of 445 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 83.4 mph off the bat, hit 21.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 81.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 73 wRC+ puts his offence 27% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -7.0 runs with the bat, +0.5 for the ballpark, +1.3 on the bases, -0.4 on double plays, -1.9 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.

A barrel is a batted ball whose exit velocity and launch angle have historically produced at least a .500 average and 1.500 slugging — 98 mph within 26–30°, widening to 8–50° by 116 mph. Reconstructed from Statcast's published anchor points, which reproduces them exactly; the interior is within a degree. Sweet spot (8–32°) is an exact definition.

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.
