Ryan McBroom is a position player for the Kansas City Royals. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 9 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .250, 2.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .250, for an OPS of .583, 19.9% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 83.5 mph off the bat and made contact on 63.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 68 wRC+ puts his offence 32% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.3 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 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 Ryan McBroom 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.
