Jesse Biddle is a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 2 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .500, 101.7% higher than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .500 clip and slugged 1.000, for an OPS of 1.500, 106.2% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 85.6 mph off the bat and made contact on 66.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 311 wRC+ puts his offence 211% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.5 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 Jesse Biddle 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.
