Christopher Bostick is a position player for the Miami Marlins. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 18 plate appearances in 15 games. His batting average was .188, 24.4% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .278 clip and slugged .250, for an OPS of .528, 27.5% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 79.4 mph off the bat, hit 28.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 66.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 55 wRC+ puts his offence 45% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.0 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 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 Christopher Bostick 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.
