Max Schuemann is a left fielder for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 8 RBIs, notching 14 hits across 87 plate appearances in 36 games. His batting average was .194, 20.2% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .361, for an OPS of .694, 3.5% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 86.1 mph off the bat, hit 41.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 72.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 99 wRC+ puts his offence 1% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — +0.1 runs with the bat, -0.3 on the bases, -0.7 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.
