Omar Martinez is a catcher for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 3 plate appearances in 2 games. His batting average was .333, 36.8% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .667, 7.3% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 88.8 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 80.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 89 wRC+ puts his offence 11% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.1 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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.

Head to head
Put Omar Martinez beside up to three others.
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.
