Adam Frazier is a second baseman for the Los Angeles Angels. So far in 2026 he has hit 1 home run and knocked in 13 RBIs, notching 31 hits across 147 plate appearances in 62 games. His batting average is .240, 1.5% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .315 clip and slugged .349, for an OPS of .664, 7.7% lower than the league mark of .719 — 9th of 16 on his team, and 311th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 82.5 mph off the bat, hit 19.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 1.1% of them and made contact on 73.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 88 wRC+ puts his offence 12% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -2.9 runs with the bat, +0.4 for the ballpark, -0.4 on the bases, +0.4 on double plays, -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.

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.
