David Holmberg is a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2015 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 12 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .125, 50.9% lower than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .364 clip and slugged .125, for an OPS of .489, 32.3% lower than the league mark of .721. He averaged 66.8 mph off the bat and made contact on 73.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 69 wRC+ puts his offence 31% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.4 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 David Holmberg 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.
