Daniel Gossett is a pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2017 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 7 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .200, 21.6% lower than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .200, for an OPS of .400, 46.7% lower than the league mark of .750. He averaged 64.8 mph off the bat and made contact on 63.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -2 wRC+ puts his offence 102% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -0.9 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Daniel Gossett 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.
