Ramón Laureano is a left fielder for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he hit 7 home runs and knocked in 21 RBIs, notching 37 hits across 206 plate appearances in 53 games. His batting average was .203, 16.7% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .286 clip and slugged .374, for an OPS of .660, 8.2% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 17 on his team, and 318th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.0 mph off the bat, hit 41.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 10.9% of them and made contact on 68.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 86 wRC+ puts his offence 14% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -4.1 runs with the bat, +0.5 for the ballpark, +0.3 on the bases, +1.3 on double plays, -1.8 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.

Contact rate68.9%

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.
