Engelb Vielma is a second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 8 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .143, 42.4% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .250 clip and slugged .143, for an OPS of .393, 46.0% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 87.3 mph off the bat and made contact on 73.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 17 wRC+ puts his offence 83% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.8 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 Engelb Vielma 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.
