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 201 plate appearances in 60 games. His batting average was .189, 22.3% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .229 clip and slugged .321, for an OPS of .550, 23.5% lower than the league mark of .719 — 15th of 18 on his team, and 443rd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.9 mph off the bat, hit 30.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.1% of them and made contact on 72.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 48 wRC+ puts his offence 52% below average. That comes to -0.8 dbWAR — -12.6 runs with the bat, +0.3 for the ballpark, +0.4 on the bases, +0.1 on double plays, -1.7 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.

Contact rate72.5%

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.
