Cedric Mullins is a center fielder for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he hit 13 home runs and knocked in 36 RBIs, notching 70 hits across 388 plate appearances in 99 games. His batting average was .207, 15.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .287 clip and slugged .358, for an OPS of .645, 10.4% lower than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 13 on his team, and 309th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 84.6 mph off the bat, hit 30.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 77.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 80 wRC+ puts his offence 20% below average. That comes to 0.5 dbWAR — -9.4 runs with the bat, -0.2 on the bases, +1.6 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.
