Luke Williams is a second baseman for the Atlanta Braves. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 1 plate appearances in 1 game. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 377 wRC+ puts his offence 277% above average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — +0.3 runs with the bat, -0.0 for the ballpark, -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.

Head to head
Put Luke Williams 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.
