Edmundo Sosa is a left fielder for the Philadelphia Phillies. So far in 2026 he has hit 8 home runs and knocked in 43 RBIs, notching 55 hits across 246 plate appearances in 83 games. His batting average is .242, 0.7% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .280 clip and slugged .410, for an OPS of .690, 4.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — 7th of 11 on his team, and 259th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.6 mph off the bat, hit 39.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 7.3% of them and made contact on 72.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 83 wRC+ puts his offence 17% below average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -3.8 runs with the bat, -0.6 for the ballpark, +0.5 on the bases, -0.5 on double plays, +0.7 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.
