Tyler Black is a designated hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 7 RBIs, notching 9 hits across 28 plate appearances in 9 games. His batting average was .333, 36.8% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .357 clip and slugged .481, for an OPS of .839, 16.6% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 83.6 mph off the bat, hit 15.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 76.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 134 wRC+ puts his offence 34% above average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — +1.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.8 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.

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.
