Jonathan Ornelas is a second baseman for the Athletics. So far in 2026 he has hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 4 hits across 22 plate appearances in 9 games. His batting average is .190, 21.9% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .227 clip and slugged .190, for an OPS of .418, 41.9% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 87.7 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 63.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 13 wRC+ puts his offence 87% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.2 runs with the bat, -0.2 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, +0.1 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.

Situational hitting
How Jonathan Ornelas hits by base state, outs, score and late-game pressure — each read against his own season line.
| Situation | PA | AB | H | HR | RBI | BB | SO | AVG | OBP | SLG | wOBA |

Runners on includes runners in scoring position, which is the convention every reference uses. Rows under 25 plate appearances are marked thin — at that size a rate moves several dozen points on one hit. Counted from play-by-play, 2026.
Head to head
Put Jonathan Ornelas beside up to three others.
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.
