Huascar Ynoa is a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. In 2021 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 6 RBIs, notching 7 hits across 32 plate appearances in 17 games. His batting average was .219, 10.3% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .219 clip and slugged .438, for an OPS of .656, 9.8% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 87.4 mph off the bat, hit 47.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.8% of them and made contact on 49.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 67 wRC+ puts his offence 33% below average. That comes to -0.0 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.
