Miguel Rojas is a second baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 18 RBIs, notching 46 hits across 181 plate appearances in 71 games. His batting average was .286, 17.3% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .324 clip and slugged .404, for an OPS of .728, 1.2% higher than the league mark of .719 — 7th of 14 on his team, and 168th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.2 mph off the bat, hit 36.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 83.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 101 wRC+ puts his offence 1% above average. That comes to 0.6 dbWAR — -0.2 runs with the bat, -0.7 on the bases, +0.8 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.

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.
