Daniel Fields is a left fielder for the Detroit Tigers. In 2015 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 1 game. His batting average was .333, 31.0% higher than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .667, for an OPS of 1.000, 38.6% higher than the league mark of .721. He averaged 103.0 mph off the bat, hit 100.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 80.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 181 wRC+ puts his offence 81% above average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — +0.3 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.

Head to head
Put Daniel Fields beside up to three others.
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.
