José Azócar is a right fielder for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 6 hits across 18 plate appearances in 11 games. His batting average was .353, 44.8% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .389 clip and slugged .471, for an OPS of .859, 19.5% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 83.0 mph off the bat, hit 23.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 72.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 141 wRC+ puts his offence 41% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.9 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, -0.2 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.

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.
