Trevor Plouffe is a third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2018 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 12 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .250, 0.8% higher than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .250 clip and slugged .500, for an OPS of .750, 3.1% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 100.5 mph off the bat, hit 80.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 20.0% of them and made contact on 73.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 98 wRC+ puts his offence 2% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.0 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 Trevor Plouffe 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.
