Casey Schmitt is a left fielder for the San Francisco Giants. So far in 2026 he has hit 21 home runs and knocked in 55 RBIs, notching 105 hits across 409 plate appearances in 97 games. His batting average is .271, 11.2% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .301 clip and slugged .483, for an OPS of .784, 9.1% higher than the league mark of .719 — the third best on his team, and 94th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.9 mph off the bat, hit 45.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.0% of them and made contact on 78.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 114 wRC+ puts his offence 14% above average. That comes to 1.8 dbWAR — +5.8 runs with the bat, +0.5 for the ballpark, +0.9 on the bases, -0.5 on double plays, -2.5 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.
