Brandon Lockridge is a left fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs, notching 28 hits across 113 plate appearances in 37 games. His batting average was .277, 13.6% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .348 clip and slugged .327, for an OPS of .675, 6.1% lower than the league mark of .719 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 292nd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 82.2 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 70.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 94 wRC+ puts his offence 6% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -0.7 runs with the bat, -0.0 for the ballpark, +0.6 on the bases, +0.7 on double plays, -0.8 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.
