Kyren Paris is a left fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 18 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average is .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .167, 76.8% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 85.2 mph off the bat, hit 57.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 62.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -40 wRC+ puts his offence 140% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -2.9 runs with the bat, +0.1 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, -0.2 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.

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.
