His batting average was .667, 168.9% higher than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .667 clip and slugged 1.000, for an OPS of 1.667, 129.1% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 87.9 mph off the bat and made contact on 85.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 376 wRC+ puts his offence 276% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.0 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.
