Jorge Ona is a designated hitter for the San Diego Padres. In 2020 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 15 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average was .250, 2.2% higher than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .400 clip and slugged .583, for an OPS of .983, 33.0% higher than the league mark of .740. He averaged 78.3 mph off the bat, hit 40.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 20.0% of them and made contact on 45.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 168 wRC+ puts his offence 68% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.2 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.4 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.

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.

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2020.
Head to head
Put Jorge Ona 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.
