Vidal Nuño is a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 2 hits across 2 plate appearances in 1 game. His batting average was 1.000, 303.3% higher than the league average of .248. He reached base at a 1.000 clip and slugged 1.000, for an OPS of 2.000, 174.9% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 80.8 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 100.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 499 wRC+ puts his offence 399% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.9 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.

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.
