Patrick Wisdom is a third baseman for the Seattle Mariners. So far in 2026 he has hit 1 home run and knocked in 4 RBIs, notching 5 hits across 50 plate appearances in 18 games. His batting average is .106, 56.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .160 clip and slugged .191, for an OPS of .351, 51.1% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 92.7 mph off the bat, hit 42.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 19.2% of them and made contact on 58.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -17 wRC+ puts his offence 117% below average. That comes to -0.5 dbWAR — -6.9 runs with the bat, +0.1 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, +0.4 on double plays, -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.

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.

Patrick Wisdom's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
