Juan Brito is a second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 14 RBIs, notching 26 hits across 115 plate appearances in 31 games. His batting average was .245, 0.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .296 clip and slugged .387, for an OPS of .682, 5.1% lower than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 18 on his team, and 277th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.3 mph off the bat, hit 30.9% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 6.2% of them and made contact on 72.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 90 wRC+ puts his offence 10% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -1.7 runs with the bat, +0.2 for the ballpark, +0.1 on the bases, -1.2 on double plays, +0.8 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.
