Cody Stanley is a position player for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2015 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 4 hits across 10 plate appearances in 9 games. His batting average was .400, 57.2% higher than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .400 clip and slugged .500, for an OPS of .900, 24.8% higher than the league mark of .721. He averaged 96.9 mph off the bat, hit 83.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 78.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 156 wRC+ puts his offence 56% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.6 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.1 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, 2015.
Head to head
Put Cody Stanley 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.
