Adam Moore was a catcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2018 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 4 hits across 20 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .222, 10.4% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .263 clip and slugged .444, for an OPS of .708, 2.7% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 89.7 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 25.0% of them and made contact on 51.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 92 wRC+ puts his offence 8% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -0.2 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, +0.3 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.

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.
