Leo Rivas is a third baseman for the Seattle Mariners. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 10 RBIs, notching 18 hits across 143 plate appearances in 45 games. His batting average is .150, 38.5% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .270 clip and slugged .192, for an OPS of .461, 35.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — the worst on his team, and 458th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.0 mph off the bat, hit 15.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 1.2% of them and made contact on 76.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 40 wRC+ puts his offence 60% below average. That comes to -0.5 dbWAR — -10.4 runs with the bat, +0.3 for the ballpark, +0.2 on the bases, -0.2 on double plays, +1.3 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.

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.

Leo Rivas's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
