Adam Moore is 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 on the bases, +0.4 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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2018.
Head to head
Put Adam Moore 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.
