Andy Wilkins is a position player for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2016 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 27 plate appearances in 25 games. His batting average was .125, 51.0% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .222 clip and slugged .292, for an OPS of .514, 30.5% lower than the league mark of .739. He averaged 95.9 mph off the bat, hit 66.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 22.2% of them and made contact on 60.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 41 wRC+ puts his offence 59% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -1.9 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, -0.7 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.

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 Andy Wilkins 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.
