Bobby Bradley is a first baseman for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 17 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .118, 51.5% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .118 clip and slugged .118, for an OPS of .235, 66.7% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 87.5 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 51.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -47 wRC+ puts his offence 147% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -2.8 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2022.
Head to head
Put Bobby Bradley beside up to three others.
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.
