Monte Harrison is a left fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2022 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 14 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .182, 25.1% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .357 clip and slugged .455, for an OPS of .812, 14.9% higher than the league mark of .706. He averaged 103.0 mph off the bat, hit 100.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 33.3% of them and made contact on 40.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 134 wRC+ puts his offence 34% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.6 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, -0.1 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.

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 Monte Harrison 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.
