Andrés Chaparro is a first baseman for the Washington Nationals. In 2026 he hit 6 home runs and knocked in 28 RBIs, notching 23 hits across 115 plate appearances in 47 games. His batting average was .235, 3.7% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .348 clip and slugged .500, for an OPS of .848, 17.9% higher than the league mark of .719 — 5th of 14 on his team, and 34th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.4 mph off the bat, hit 49.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 69.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 133 wRC+ puts his offence 33% above average. That comes to 0.6 dbWAR — +4.9 runs with the bat, -0.1 on the bases, -2.5 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.

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.
