Collin Cowgill is a right fielder for the Cleveland Indians. In 2016 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 14 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .083, 67.4% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .214 clip and slugged .083, for an OPS of .298, 59.7% lower than the league mark of .739. He averaged 79.3 mph off the bat and made contact on 65.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -7 wRC+ puts his offence 107% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.8 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.2 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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2016.
Head to head
Put Collin Cowgill 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.
