Jonathan Schoop was a second baseman for the Detroit Tigers. In 2023 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 7 RBIs, notching 29 hits across 151 plate appearances in 55 games. His batting average was .213, 14.2% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .278 clip and slugged .272, for an OPS of .550, 25.1% lower than the league mark of .734 — the second worst on his team, and 438th of 461 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.4 mph off the bat, hit 38.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.0% of them and made contact on 70.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 51 wRC+ puts his offence 49% below average. That comes to -0.4 dbWAR — -8.8 runs with the bat, -0.3 for the ballpark, -0.3 on the bases, -0.8 on double plays, +1.2 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.

Jonathan Schoop'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.
