Scott Kingery is a second baseman for the Chicago Cubs. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 4 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average is .250, 2.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .250 clip and slugged .250, for an OPS of .500, 30.4% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 77.1 mph off the bat and made contact on 87.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 34 wRC+ puts his offence 66% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.3 runs with the bat, -0.0 for the ballpark, +0.2 on the bases, +0.2 on double plays, +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.

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.

Batting average by location of the pitch that ended each plate appearance, catcher's view. The bordered square is the strike zone; the outer band is chase territory. Cells with fewer than 8 at-bats are left grey rather than shown as signal. League average on the same attribution is .243.

Scott Kingery'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.
