Mickey McDonald is a right fielder for the Oakland Athletics. In 2022 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 6 plate appearances in 3 games. His batting average was .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .333, 52.8% lower than the league mark of .706. He averaged 89.3 mph off the bat and made contact on 46.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 48 wRC+ puts his offence 52% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.4 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 Mickey McDonald 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.
