Endy Rodríguez is a catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he hit 7 home runs and knocked in 20 RBIs, notching 36 hits across 159 plate appearances in 45 games. His batting average was .267, 9.4% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .373 clip and slugged .467, for an OPS of .840, 16.8% higher than the league mark of .719 — the second best on his team, and 36th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 91.8 mph off the bat, hit 46.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 74.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 133 wRC+ puts his offence 33% above average. That comes to 1.6 dbWAR — +7.1 runs with the bat, +0.5 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.

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.
