Sean Rodríguez is a second baseman for the Miami Marlins. In 2020 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 13 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .154, 37.1% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .154 clip and slugged .154, for an OPS of .308, 58.4% lower than the league mark of .740. He averaged 92.2 mph off the bat, hit 42.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 56.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -27 wRC+ puts his offence 127% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.1 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 Sean Rodríguez 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.
