Daniel Schneemann is a third baseman for the Cleveland Guardians. So far in 2026 he has hit 6 home runs and knocked in 29 RBIs, notching 53 hits across 282 plate appearances in 87 games. His batting average is .205, 15.8% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .273 clip and slugged .318, for an OPS of .591, 17.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — 14th of 16 on his team, and 403rd of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.9 mph off the bat, hit 37.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 6.9% of them and made contact on 68.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 64 wRC+ puts his offence 36% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -11.8 runs with the bat, -0.2 for the ballpark, +0.0 on the bases, +0.3 on double plays, +1.9 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.
