Dominic Fletcher is a right fielder for the Chicago White Sox. In 2025 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 7 hits across 34 plate appearances in 11 games. His batting average was .219, 10.8% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .265 clip and slugged .469, for an OPS of .733, 2.0% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 89.1 mph off the bat, hit 40.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.3% of them and made contact on 88.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 99 wRC+ puts his offence 1% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -0.1 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, -0.3 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.

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.
