Danny Muno is a third baseman for the New York Mets. In 2015 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 4 hits across 32 plate appearances in 17 games. His batting average was .148, 41.8% lower than the league average of .254. He reached base at a .258 clip and slugged .185, for an OPS of .443, 38.6% lower than the league mark of .721. He averaged 93.7 mph off the bat, hit 45.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 63.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 32 wRC+ puts his offence 68% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.5 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, -0.3 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.
