Luis Rengifo is a third baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 27 RBIs, notching 62 hits across 296 plate appearances in 79 games. His batting average was .239, 1.8% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .321 clip and slugged .305, for an OPS of .626, 13.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — the second worst on his team, and 339th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.5 mph off the bat, hit 35.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 80.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 79 wRC+ puts his offence 21% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -7.5 runs with the bat, -0.5 on the bases, -0.5 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.
