Tyler Wade is a center fielder for the San Diego Padres. In 2025 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 9 RBIs, notching 22 hits across 127 plate appearances in 50 games. His batting average was .206, 16.2% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .309 clip and slugged .252, for an OPS of .561, 21.9% lower than the league mark of .719 — the worst on his team, and 424th of 461 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 79.1 mph off the bat, hit 15.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 73.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 67 wRC+ puts his offence 33% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -5.2 runs with the bat, -0.9 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.

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.
