Magneuris Sierra is a center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 5 RBIs, notching 15 hits across 96 plate appearances in 36 games. His batting average was .165, 32.1% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .242, for an OPS of .442, 37.5% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 77.8 mph off the bat, hit 16.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 73.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 17 wRC+ puts his offence 83% below average. That comes to -0.5 dbWAR — -9.0 runs with the bat, +0.7 on the bases, +0.1 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.

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.
