Jean Segura was a third baseman for the Miami Marlins. In 2023 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 21 RBIs, notching 66 hits across 326 plate appearances in 84 games. His batting average was .219, 11.7% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .277 clip and slugged .279, for an OPS of .556, 24.3% lower than the league mark of .734 — the second worst on his team, and 430th of 461 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.1 mph off the bat, hit 39.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.2% of them and made contact on 80.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 52 wRC+ puts his offence 48% below average. That comes to -0.8 dbWAR — -18.9 runs with the bat, -0.3 for the ballpark, -0.3 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, +2.0 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.

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.
