Tucker Barnhart was a catcher for the Texas Rangers. In 2025 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 15 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .231, 5.9% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .231, for an OPS of .564, 21.5% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 85.4 mph off the bat, hit 11.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 96.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 76 wRC+ puts his offence 24% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.5 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.6 on double plays, +0.5 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.
