Gleyber Torres is a second baseman for the Detroit Tigers. In 2026 he hit 8 home runs and knocked in 38 RBIs, notching 93 hits across 420 plate appearances in 96 games. His batting average was .260, 6.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .364 clip and slugged .363, for an OPS of .727, 1.2% higher than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 18 on his team, and 182nd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.2 mph off the bat, hit 32.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.4% of them and made contact on 77.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 111 wRC+ puts his offence 11% above average. That comes to 1.8 dbWAR — +4.5 runs with the bat, +0.6 for the ballpark, -0.7 on the bases, -0.8 on double plays, +0.9 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.

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.
