Carlos Gómez was a left fielder for the New York Mets. In 2019 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 10 RBIs, notching 17 hits across 99 plate appearances in 30 games. His batting average was .198, 21.6% lower than the league average of .252. He reached base at a .278 clip and slugged .337, for an OPS of .616, 18.7% lower than the league mark of .758. He averaged 86.1 mph off the bat, hit 35.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 13.0% of them and made contact on 68.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 67 wRC+ puts his offence 33% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -4.4 runs with the bat, +0.2 for the ballpark, +0.3 on the bases, -0.6 on double plays, -0.5 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.

Contact quality

How hard and at what angle he hits it, over 54 tracked batted balls in 2019. Percentiles are against qualified batters.

Barrel rate: 13.0%

Contact rate68.5%

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.

What he throws, how hard, how often it misses, and what hitters do with it.


Four-Seam Fastball	71.4%	15	88.6	2,486	20.0%	0.0%	1	—	—

Carlos Gómez's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

How these are computed

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.
