Luis Antonio Rodriguez was a shortstop for the Seattle Mariners. In 2011 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 14 RBIs, notching 23 hits across 139 plate appearances in 44 games. His batting average was .197, 22.9% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .299 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .633, 12.1% lower than the league mark of .720 — 11th of 18 on his team, and 349th of 452 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He made contact on 86.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 82 wRC+ puts his offence 18% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -3.2 runs with the bat, +0.3 for the ballpark, -0.7 on the bases, +0.7 on double plays, +1.3 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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Counted from play-by-play, 2011.
Not in the 2011 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.
