Ryan Schimpf is a third baseman for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2018 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 7 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .200, 19.3% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .429 clip and slugged .800, for an OPS of 1.229, 68.9% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 70.2 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 50.0% of them and made contact on 50.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 223 wRC+ puts his offence 123% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.0 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 Ryan Schimpf 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.
