Wilfredo Boscan is a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2016 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .333, 30.5% higher than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .667, 9.8% lower than the league mark of .739. He averaged 72.7 mph off the bat and made contact on 83.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 80 wRC+ puts his offence 20% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.1 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.
