Pedro Florimón is a shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2018 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 5 RBIs, notching 16 hits across 76 plate appearances in 43 games. His batting average was .225, 9.1% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .276 clip and slugged .423, for an OPS of .699, 3.9% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 91.2 mph off the bat, hit 48.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.7% of them and made contact on 67.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 89 wRC+ puts his offence 11% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -0.8 runs with the bat, -0.6 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.

Contact rate67.3%

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.

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.
