Taylor Trammell is a left fielder for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he hit 8 home runs and knocked in 22 RBIs, notching 49 hits across 289 plate appearances in 92 games. His batting average was .192, 21.2% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .285 clip and slugged .341, for an OPS of .626, 12.9% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 367th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.5 mph off the bat, hit 38.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.7% of them and made contact on 61.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 77 wRC+ puts his offence 23% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -8.5 runs with the bat, +0.4 for the ballpark, -0.8 on the bases, -0.7 on double plays, -1.3 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.
