Guillermo Heredia was a right fielder for the Atlanta Braves. In 2022 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 8 RBIs, notching 12 hits across 82 plate appearances in 34 games. His batting average was .158, 34.9% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .220 clip and slugged .342, for an OPS of .562, 20.5% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 86.0 mph off the bat, hit 31.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 6.8% of them and made contact on 63.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 55 wRC+ puts his offence 45% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -4.3 runs with the bat, +0.1 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, -0.5 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.

Below averageLeague averageAbove average

Batting average by location of the pitch that ended each plate appearance, catcher's view. The bordered square is the strike zone; the outer band is chase territory. Cells with fewer than 8 at-bats are left grey rather than shown as signal. League average on the same attribution is .242.

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.
