Grayson Greiner is a catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 8 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .167, 31.3% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .375 clip and slugged .167, for an OPS of .542, 23.3% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 89.7 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 58.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 83 wRC+ puts his offence 17% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.2 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 Grayson Greiner 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.
