His batting average was .333, 34.4% higher than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .667, 8.4% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 27.3 mph off the bat and made contact on 75.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 84 wRC+ puts his offence 16% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 for the position he plays, against replacement level.

Put Deck McGuire 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.
