Robinson Canó was a second baseman for the San Diego Padres. In 2022 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 4 RBIs, notching 15 hits across 104 plate appearances in 32 games. His batting average was .150, 38.2% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .183 clip and slugged .190, for an OPS of .373, 47.2% lower than the league mark of .706 — the worst on his team, and the worst among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.7 mph off the bat, hit 41.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 2.7% of them and made contact on 75.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -0 wRC+ puts his offence 100% below average. That comes to -0.9 dbWAR — -11.9 runs with the bat, +0.4 for the ballpark, -0.1 on the bases, -0.1 on double plays, -0.2 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.
