Anthony Ranaudo is a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2016 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 1 game. His batting average was .333, 30.5% higher than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged 1.333, for an OPS of 1.667, 125.5% higher than the league mark of .739. He averaged 89.5 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 50.0% of them and made contact on 75.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 358 wRC+ puts his offence 258% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.9 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.
