J.P. Crawford is a shortstop for the Seattle Mariners. In 2026 he hit 14 home runs and knocked in 40 RBIs, notching 91 hits across 489 plate appearances in 115 games. His batting average was .221, 9.5% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .335 clip and slugged .352, for an OPS of .687, 4.5% lower than the league mark of .719 — 8th of 16 on his team, and 268th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.0 mph off the bat, hit 34.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.7% of them and made contact on 82.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 101 wRC+ puts his offence 1% above average. That comes to 1.9 dbWAR — -1.4 runs with the bat, +1.1 for the ballpark, -1.8 on the bases, -1.4 on double plays, +6.1 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.
League context

How the WAR is built
