Dilson Herrera is a first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2020 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 6 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .167, 77.5% lower than the league mark of .740. He averaged 96.3 mph off the bat, hit 100.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 72.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -34 wRC+ puts his offence 134% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.0 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, 2020.
Head to head
Put Dilson Herrera 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.
