Abiatal Avelino is a shortstop for the San Francisco Giants. In 2019 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 2 hits across 8 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .286, 13.3% higher than the league average of .252. He reached base at a .375 clip and slugged .286, for an OPS of .661, 12.8% lower than the league mark of .758. He averaged 83.8 mph off the bat, hit 25.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 61.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 95 wRC+ puts his offence 5% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.1 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.

Put Abiatal Avelino 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.
