Tim Melville is a pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. In 2019 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 10 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .250, 0.9% lower than the league average of .252. He reached base at a .250 clip and slugged .250, for an OPS of .500, 34.0% lower than the league mark of .758. He averaged 85.7 mph off the bat, hit 40.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 63.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 26 wRC+ puts his offence 74% below 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.

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.

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.
