Jacob Hurtubise is a left fielder for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2025 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 15 plate appearances in 10 games. His batting average was .083, 66.0% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .267 clip and slugged .083, for an OPS of .350, 51.3% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 89.3 mph off the bat, hit 16.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 74.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 23 wRC+ puts his offence 77% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.4 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 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 Jacob Hurtubise 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.
