Jeremiah Jackson is a second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. So far in 2026 he has hit 10 home runs and knocked in 45 RBIs, notching 60 hits across 293 plate appearances in 92 games. His batting average is .217, 11.2% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .247 clip and slugged .365, for an OPS of .611, 14.9% lower than the league mark of .719 — the worst on his team, and 387th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.9 mph off the bat, hit 37.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 8.1% of them and made contact on 72.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 64 wRC+ puts his offence 36% below average. That comes to -0.4 dbWAR — -13.1 runs with the bat, +0.5 for the ballpark, -0.7 on the bases, -1.5 on double plays, +1.7 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.
