Ivan Johnson is a left fielder for the Cincinnati Reds. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 19 plate appearances in 11 games. His batting average is .063, 74.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .211 clip and slugged .063, for an OPS of .273, 62.0% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 84.5 mph off the bat, hit 22.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 50.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -10 wRC+ puts his offence 110% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.5 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, +0.4 on the bases, -0.1 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 Ivan Johnson 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.
