Alex Call is a left fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 20 RBIs, notching 38 hits across 195 plate appearances in 79 games. His batting average was .233, 4.5% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .349 clip and slugged .307, for an OPS of .655, 8.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 14 on his team, and 323rd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 83.6 mph off the bat, hit 16.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 2.3% of them and made contact on 82.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 94 wRC+ puts his offence 6% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -1.6 runs with the bat, +0.1 for the ballpark, -0.5 on the bases, +0.5 on double plays, -1.5 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.
