Narciso Crook was a right fielder for the Chicago Cubs. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 9 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .250, 3.0% higher than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .222 clip and slugged .375, for an OPS of .597, 15.5% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 97.5 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 60.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 51 wRC+ puts his offence 49% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.5 runs with the bat, -0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Narciso Crook 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.
