Stevie Wilkerson is a second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 12 hits across 76 plate appearances in 26 games. His batting average was .167, 31.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .211 clip and slugged .208, for an OPS of .419, 42.5% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 85.0 mph off the bat, hit 23.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 64.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 12 wRC+ puts his offence 88% below average. That comes to -0.5 dbWAR — -8.0 runs with the bat, +0.4 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.

A barrel is a batted ball whose exit velocity and launch angle have historically produced at least a .500 average and 1.500 slugging — 98 mph within 26–30°, widening to 8–50° by 116 mph. Reconstructed from Statcast's published anchor points, which reproduces them exactly; the interior is within a degree. Sweet spot (8–32°) is an exact definition.

How these are computed

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.
