Luke Raley is a right fielder for the Seattle Mariners. In 2026 he hit 15 home runs and knocked in 39 RBIs, notching 59 hits across 287 plate appearances in 92 games. His batting average was .225, 7.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .284 clip and slugged .439, for an OPS of .723, 0.5% higher than the league mark of .719 — 6th of 15 on his team, and 179th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.2 mph off the bat, hit 47.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 59.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 99 wRC+ puts his offence 1% below average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -1.3 runs with the bat, -0.9 on the bases, -3.4 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.

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.
