Craig Stammen is a pitcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 7 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .200, 18.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .200, for an OPS of .400, 45.0% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 41.9 mph off the bat and made contact on 71.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 2 wRC+ puts his offence 98% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -0.8 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.
