Abraham Almonte is a designated hitter for the New York Mets. In 2023 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 16 plate appearances in 8 games. His batting average was .067, 73.2% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .125 clip and slugged .133, for an OPS of .258, 64.8% lower than the league mark of .734. He averaged 91.0 mph off the bat, hit 71.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 62.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -37 wRC+ puts his offence 137% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.6 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 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.

Head to head
Put Abraham Almonte 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.
