Sherman Johnson is a second baseman for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 11 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .091 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .091, 87.5% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 77.4 mph off the bat and made contact on 64.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -76 wRC+ puts his offence 176% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.3 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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2018.
Head to head
Put Sherman Johnson 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.
