Jo Adell is a right fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he hit 16 home runs and knocked in 62 RBIs, notching 104 hits across 483 plate appearances in 117 games. His batting average was .234, 4.1% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .288 clip and slugged .387, for an OPS of .674, 6.3% lower than the league mark of .719 — 8th of 15 on his team, and 268th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.8 mph off the bat, hit 44.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 7.7% of them and made contact on 72.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 89 wRC+ puts his offence 11% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -8.3 runs with the bat, +0.0 on the bases, -6.2 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.
