Ivan Castillo is a second baseman for the San Diego Padres. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 4 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .333, 36.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .500 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .833, 14.5% higher than the league mark of .728. He averaged 90.9 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 83.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 162 wRC+ puts his offence 62% above average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — +0.3 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 Ivan Castillo 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.
