Anthony Rizzo was a first baseman for the New York Yankees. In 2024 he hit 8 home runs and knocked in 35 RBIs, notching 77 hits across 375 plate appearances in 92 games. His batting average was .228, 6.1% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .301 clip and slugged .335, for an OPS of .637, 10.5% lower than the league mark of .711 — 11th of 13 on his team, and 321st of 455 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.7 mph off the bat, hit 33.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 2.9% of them and made contact on 80.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 82 wRC+ puts his offence 18% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -7.7 runs with the bat, -0.1 for the ballpark, -0.7 on the bases, -0.9 on double plays, -4.8 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.

Anthony Rizzo's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
