Alfredo Simon is a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2016 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 19 plate appearances in 8 games. His batting average was .071, 72.0% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .188 clip and slugged .071, for an OPS of .259, 65.0% lower than the league mark of .739. He averaged 74.4 mph off the bat, hit 12.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 73.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -20 wRC+ puts his offence 120% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.7 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Alfredo Simon beside up to three others.
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.
