Carlos Correa is a shortstop for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 16 RBIs, notching 34 hits across 141 plate appearances in 32 games. His batting average was .279, 14.2% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .369 clip and slugged .418, for an OPS of .787, 9.4% higher than the league mark of .719 — 4th of 15 on his team, and 94th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.2 mph off the bat, hit 41.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 8.2% of them and made contact on 77.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 125 wRC+ puts his offence 25% above average. That comes to 1.0 dbWAR — +3.6 runs with the bat, +0.2 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.6 on double plays, +1.7 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.

Contact rate77.1%

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.
