Matt Tuiasosopo was a position player for the Atlanta Braves. In 2016 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 3 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .000 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .000, 100.0% lower than the league mark of .739. He averaged 96.7 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 62.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -115 wRC+ puts his offence 215% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -0.8 runs with the bat, -0.0 for the ballpark, +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.
