Eric Haase is a catcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he hit 4 home runs and knocked in 9 RBIs, notching 12 hits across 84 plate appearances in 26 games. His batting average was .162, 33.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .235 clip and slugged .365, for an OPS of .599, 16.7% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 82.1 mph off the bat, hit 28.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 14.3% of them and made contact on 61.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 63 wRC+ puts his offence 37% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -3.8 runs with the bat, -0.1 on the bases, +1.6 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.

A barrel is a batted ball whose exit velocity and launch angle have historically produced at least a .500 average and 1.500 slugging — 98 mph within 26–30°, widening to 8–50° by 116 mph. Reconstructed from Statcast's published anchor points, which reproduces them exactly; the interior is within a degree. Sweet spot (8–32°) is an exact definition.

How these are computed

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.
