Myles Straw is a left fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays. So far in 2026 he has hit 3 home runs and knocked in 26 RBIs, notching 71 hits across 327 plate appearances in 132 games. His batting average is .243, level with the league average of .244. He reached base at a .307 clip and slugged .346, for an OPS of .652, 9.2% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 16 on his team, and 327th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 84.5 mph off the bat, hit 25.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 2.7% of them and made contact on 87.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 82 wRC+ puts his offence 18% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -6.8 runs with the bat, -0.1 for the ballpark, +0.1 on the bases, +0.8 on double plays, -1.9 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.
