CJ Alexander is a first baseman for the Athletics. In 2025 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 3 hits across 17 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .176, 28.0% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .176 clip and slugged .176, for an OPS of .353, 50.9% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 81.7 mph off the bat, hit 11.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 55.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -11 wRC+ puts his offence 111% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.2 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.2 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.

Head to head
Put CJ Alexander 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.
