Khalil Lee is a center fielder for the New York Mets. In 2022 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 3 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 2 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .500, 106.0% higher than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .500 clip and slugged 2.000, for an OPS of 2.500, 253.9% higher than the league mark of .706. He averaged 82.1 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 50.0% of them and made contact on 100.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 631 wRC+ puts his offence 531% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.2 runs with the bat, +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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2022.
Head to head
Put Khalil Lee 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.
