Brayan Rocchio is a shortstop for the Cleveland Guardians. In 2026 he hit 9 home runs and knocked in 50 RBIs, notching 103 hits across 452 plate appearances in 116 games. His batting average was .254, 4.4% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .319 clip and slugged .373, for an OPS of .692, 3.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — 8th of 14 on his team, and 235th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.6 mph off the bat, hit 30.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 77.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 92 wRC+ puts his offence 8% below average. That comes to 1.8 dbWAR — -3.1 runs with the bat, +0.3 on the bases, +5.3 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.

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.
