Christin Stewart is a left fielder for the Detroit Tigers. In 2020 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 9 RBIs, notching 15 hits across 99 plate appearances in 34 games. His batting average was .167, 31.9% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .224 clip and slugged .300, for an OPS of .524, 29.1% lower than the league mark of .740. He averaged 85.7 mph off the bat, hit 29.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 8.2% of them and made contact on 68.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 39 wRC+ puts his offence 61% below average. That comes to -0.6 dbWAR — -7.7 runs with the bat, -0.1 on the bases, -1.3 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.

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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2020.

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.
