Brian Navarreto is a catcher for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 23 plate appearances in 10 games. His batting average was .111, 54.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .238 clip and slugged .167, for an OPS of .405, 43.7% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 72.2 mph off the bat, hit 7.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 67.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 24 wRC+ puts his offence 76% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -2.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +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.

Head to head
Put Brian Navarreto 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.
