Dérmis Garcia is a first baseman for the Oakland Athletics. In 2022 he hit 5 home runs and knocked in 20 RBIs, notching 24 hits across 125 plate appearances in 39 games. His batting average was .207, 14.8% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .264 clip and slugged .388, for an OPS of .652, 7.7% lower than the league mark of .706 — 7th of 19 on his team, and 299th of 469 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.5 mph off the bat, hit 42.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 13.1% of them and made contact on 55.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 84 wRC+ puts his offence 16% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -2.5 runs with the bat, -0.1 on the bases, -2.6 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.

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.
