Wilmer Flores was a designated hitter for the San Francisco Giants. In 2025 he hit 16 home runs and knocked in 71 RBIs, notching 101 hits across 463 plate appearances in 125 games. His batting average was .241, 1.7% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .307 clip and slugged .379, for an OPS of .686, 4.6% lower than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 15 on his team, and 249th of 461 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.9 mph off the bat, hit 26.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 4.2% of them and made contact on 79.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 93 wRC+ puts his offence 7% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -4.2 runs with the bat, +0.2 for the ballpark, -0.6 on the bases, -2.2 on double plays, -9.0 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.
