Ryan Brett is a second baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2015 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 4 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .667, 162.0% higher than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .750 clip and slugged 1.000, for an OPS of 1.750, 142.6% higher than the league mark of .721. He averaged 102.5 mph off the bat, hit 100.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 100.0% of them and made contact on 71.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 384 wRC+ puts his offence 284% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.3 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.

Head to head
Put Ryan Brett 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.
