Dominic Canzone is a designated hitter for the Seattle Mariners. In 2026 he hit 18 home runs and knocked in 49 RBIs, notching 77 hits across 344 plate appearances in 104 games. His batting average was .251, 2.9% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .326 clip and slugged .489, for an OPS of .814, 13.2% higher than the league mark of .719 — the best on his team, and 60th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 91.7 mph off the bat, hit 45.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 71.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 127 wRC+ puts his offence 27% above average. That comes to 1.1 dbWAR — +9.2 runs with the bat, -0.6 on the bases, -8.8 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.

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.
