Travis Wood is a pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2017 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 6 RBIs, notching 4 hits across 18 plate appearances in 11 games. His batting average was .222, 12.8% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .222 clip and slugged .556, for an OPS of .778, 3.7% higher than the league mark of .750. He averaged 89.4 mph off the bat, hit 44.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.1% of them and made contact on 62.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 101 wRC+ puts his offence 1% above average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.1 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.

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.
