Oliver Dunn is a shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 12 plate appearances in 7 games. His batting average was .091, 62.7% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .091, for an OPS of .258, 64.2% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 76.9 mph off the bat, hit 25.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 70.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -29 wRC+ puts his offence 129% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.8 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.

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.
