Jhan Mariñez is a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2017 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 6 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .167, 34.6% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .500, 33.4% lower than the league mark of .750. He averaged 96.8 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 42.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 23 wRC+ puts his offence 77% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.6 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.

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.
