Walker Lockett is a pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2019 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 7 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .167, 33.9% lower than the league average of .252. He reached base at a .286 clip and slugged .167, for an OPS of .452, 40.3% lower than the league mark of .758. He averaged 95.2 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 53.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 36 wRC+ puts his offence 64% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.6 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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 Walker Lockett 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.
