Joe Dunand is a second baseman for the Miami Marlins. In 2022 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 3 hits across 11 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .300, 23.6% higher than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .364 clip and slugged .700, for an OPS of 1.064, 50.6% higher than the league mark of .706. He averaged 85.9 mph off the bat, hit 28.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 73.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 196 wRC+ puts his offence 96% above average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — +1.2 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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.

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.
