Adam Morgan is a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2017 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .500, 96.1% higher than the league average of .255. He reached base at a .667 clip and slugged .500, for an OPS of 1.167, 55.5% higher than the league mark of .750. He averaged 91.9 mph off the bat and made contact on 83.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 234 wRC+ puts his offence 134% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.5 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.

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.
