Enrique Hernández is a third baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 6 hits across 22 plate appearances in 10 games. His batting average was .286, 17.3% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .318 clip and slugged .524, for an OPS of .842, 17.0% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 89.5 mph off the bat, hit 41.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 82.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 132 wRC+ puts his offence 32% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.8 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.1 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.

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.
