Oswald Peraza is a second baseman for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he hit 7 home runs and knocked in 25 RBIs, notching 77 hits across 370 plate appearances in 114 games. His batting average was .226, 7.5% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .282 clip and slugged .334, for an OPS of .616, 14.3% lower than the league mark of .719 — 11th of 16 on his team, and 378th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.4 mph off the bat, hit 36.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.2% of them and made contact on 69.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 75 wRC+ puts his offence 25% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -12.6 runs with the bat, +1.1 for the ballpark, +1.1 on the bases, -0.6 on double plays, +2.7 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.

Oswald Peraza's arsenal by usage. Velocity is average release speed in mph, spin in rpm, and whiff rate is misses per swing — the cleanest single measure of whether a pitch beats hitters. BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

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.
