Dillon Thomas is a left fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 14 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average was .091, 62.5% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .286 clip and slugged .091, for an OPS of .377, 46.7% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 82.9 mph off the bat, hit 40.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 55.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 33 wRC+ puts his offence 67% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.2 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 Dillon Thomas 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.
