Tyler Moore is a first baseman for the Miami Marlins. In 2017 he hit 6 home runs and knocked in 30 RBIs, notching 43 hits across 203 plate appearances in 99 games. His batting average was .230, 9.8% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .267 clip and slugged .401, for an OPS of .668, 10.9% lower than the league mark of .750 — 10th of 14 on his team, and 334th of 435 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.5 mph off the bat, hit 36.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.9% of them and made contact on 70.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 76 wRC+ puts his offence 24% below average. That comes to -0.4 dbWAR — -6.6 runs with the bat, -0.1 on the bases, -4.3 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.
