Ozzie Albies is a second baseman for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he hit 19 home runs and knocked in 63 RBIs, notching 118 hits across 506 plate appearances in 118 games. His batting average was .259, 6.2% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .310 clip and slugged .432, for an OPS of .742, 3.2% higher than the league mark of .719 — 5th of 12 on his team, and 142nd of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.7 mph off the bat, hit 28.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 78.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 101 wRC+ puts his offence 1% above average. That comes to 1.8 dbWAR — +1.2 runs with the bat, -1.9 on the bases, +2.0 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.

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.
