Brandon Snyder is a third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 6 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .167, 32.8% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .500, 31.3% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 81.1 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 71.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 28 wRC+ puts his offence 72% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.5 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 Brandon Snyder 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.
