Wilkin Castillo is a catcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2019 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 7 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .143, 43.4% lower than the league average of .252. He reached base at a .143 clip and slugged .286, for an OPS of .429, 43.4% lower than the league mark of .758. He averaged 88.4 mph off the bat, hit 25.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 66.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -1 wRC+ puts his offence 101% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.9 runs with the bat, +0.0 on the bases, +0.1 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 Wilkin Castillo 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.
