Noelvi Marte is a right fielder for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he hit 6 home runs and knocked in 15 RBIs, notching 36 hits across 191 plate appearances in 56 games. His batting average was .200, 17.9% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .241 clip and slugged .339, for an OPS of .580, 19.4% lower than the league mark of .719 — 12th of 15 on his team, and 380th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.0 mph off the bat, hit 31.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.3% of them and made contact on 72.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 56 wRC+ puts his offence 44% below average. That comes to -0.6 dbWAR — -10.1 runs with the bat, +0.4 on the bases, -2.5 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.
