Braxton Lee is a right fielder for the Miami Marlins. In 2018 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 18 plate appearances in 8 games. His batting average was .176, 28.8% lower than the league average of .248. He reached base at a .222 clip and slugged .176, for an OPS of .399, 45.2% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 85.6 mph off the bat, hit 28.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 75.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 9 wRC+ puts his offence 91% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -1.9 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 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, 2018.
Head to head
Put Braxton Lee 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.
