Luis Campusano is a catcher for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he hit 8 home runs and knocked in 30 RBIs, notching 57 hits across 248 plate appearances in 71 games. His batting average was .265, 8.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .363 clip and slugged .433, for an OPS of .795, 10.6% higher than the league mark of .719 — 4th of 17 on his team, and 82nd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.3 mph off the bat, hit 37.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 6.8% of them and made contact on 74.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 131 wRC+ puts his offence 31% above average. That comes to 1.8 dbWAR — +7.7 runs with the bat, +0.6 for the ballpark, -0.4 on the bases, -0.7 on double plays, +2.6 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.

Hard hit rate37.9%

Contact rate74.0%

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.
