Victor Reyes is a right fielder for the Detroit Tigers. In 2022 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 34 RBIs, notching 80 hits across 336 plate appearances in 90 games. His batting average was .254, 4.6% higher than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .289 clip and slugged .362, for an OPS of .651, 7.9% lower than the league mark of .706 — 8th of 16 on his team, and 304th of 469 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.4 mph off the bat, hit 36.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 4.1% of them and made contact on 72.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 81 wRC+ puts his offence 19% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -7.1 runs with the bat, -0.7 on the bases, -4.1 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.

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.
