Travis d'Arnaud is a catcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 12 hits across 84 plate appearances in 31 games. His batting average was .158, 35.3% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .238 clip and slugged .237, for an OPS of .475, 33.9% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 86.7 mph off the bat, hit 30.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 9.6% of them and made contact on 69.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 36 wRC+ puts his offence 64% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -6.6 runs with the bat, +0.2 for the ballpark, -0.1 on the bases, -0.1 on double plays, +1.3 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.

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.
