Chad Billingsley is a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2015 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 14 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .077, 69.8% lower than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .077 clip and slugged .308, for an OPS of .385, 46.7% lower than the league mark of .721. He averaged 86.7 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 68.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -10 wRC+ puts his offence 110% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.7 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 Chad Billingsley 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.
