Andrew Vaughn is a first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 5 home runs and knocked in 34 RBIs, notching 60 hits across 233 plate appearances in 73 games. His batting average was .300, 23.1% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .391 clip and slugged .470, for an OPS of .861, 19.6% higher than the league mark of .719 — the second best on his team, and 27th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.4 mph off the bat, hit 43.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 79.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 144 wRC+ puts his offence 44% above average. That comes to 1.4 dbWAR — +11.8 runs with the bat, -0.4 on the bases, -4.7 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.

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.
