Will Wilson is a third baseman for the Seattle Mariners. So far in 2026 he has hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 6 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average is .200, 18.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .800, for an OPS of 1.133, 57.7% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 87.8 mph off the bat, hit 25.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 25.0% of them and made contact on 61.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 206 wRC+ puts his offence 106% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +0.7 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Will Wilson beside up to three others.
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.
