DaShawn Keirsey Jr. is a center fielder for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 5 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .200, 18.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .200, for an OPS of .400, 44.4% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 84.8 mph off the bat and made contact on 54.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 3 wRC+ puts his offence 97% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.6 runs with the bat, -0.0 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, +0.2 on double plays, +0.0 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.
