Brian Miller was a right fielder for the Miami Marlins. In 2021 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 11 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .273, 11.9% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .273 clip and slugged .273, for an OPS of .545, 25.1% lower than the league mark of .728. He averaged 75.1 mph off the bat, hit 12.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 86.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 47 wRC+ puts his offence 53% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.7 runs with the bat, -0.0 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 Brian Miller 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.
