Luis Arraez is a second baseman for the San Francisco Giants. In 2026 he hit 5 home runs and knocked in 48 RBIs, notching 143 hits across 493 plate appearances in 111 games. His batting average was .320, 31.3% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .355 clip and slugged .441, for an OPS of .796, 10.6% higher than the league mark of .719 — the second best on his team, and 85th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.0 mph off the bat, hit 20.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 92.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 120 wRC+ puts his offence 20% above average. That comes to 3.1 dbWAR — +10.9 runs with the bat, +1.2 on the bases, +1.9 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.
