Everson Pereira is a right fielder for the Chicago White Sox. So far in 2026 he has hit 5 home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs, notching 23 hits across 111 plate appearances in 34 games. His batting average is .235, 3.8% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .309 clip and slugged .439, for an OPS of .748, 4.1% higher than the league mark of .719 — 7th of 14 on his team, and 143rd of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.7 mph off the bat, hit 41.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 12.7% of them and made contact on 62.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 109 wRC+ puts his offence 9% above average. That comes to 0.5 dbWAR — +0.9 runs with the bat, +0.1 for the ballpark, +0.1 on the bases, +0.7 on double plays, -0.8 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.

A barrel is a batted ball whose exit velocity and launch angle have historically produced at least a .500 average and 1.500 slugging — 98 mph within 26–30°, widening to 8–50° by 116 mph. Reconstructed from Statcast's published anchor points, which reproduces them exactly; the interior is within a degree. Sweet spot (8–32°) is an exact definition.

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.
