Jeff McNeil is a second baseman for the Athletics. In 2026 he hit 9 home runs and knocked in 59 RBIs, notching 126 hits across 520 plate appearances in 144 games. His batting average was .264, 8.0% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .313 clip and slugged .368, for an OPS of .681, 5.3% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 17 on his team, and 280th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.1 mph off the bat, hit 29.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 1.7% of them and made contact on 84.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 79 wRC+ puts his offence 21% below average. That comes to 0.6 dbWAR — -6.8 runs with the bat, -3.7 for the ballpark, +0.0 on the bases, -0.4 on double plays, +0.4 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.
