Anderson Tejeda is a third baseman for the Texas Rangers. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 17 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average was .063, 74.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .118 clip and slugged .063, for an OPS of .180, 75.2% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 87.8 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 51.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -55 wRC+ puts his offence 155% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -3.2 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, +0.1 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.

Head to head
Put Anderson Tejeda 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.
