Brenton Doyle is a center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he hit 6 home runs and knocked in 16 RBIs, notching 49 hits across 223 plate appearances in 76 games. His batting average was .233, 4.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .275 clip and slugged .362, for an OPS of .637, 11.4% lower than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 14 on his team, and 349th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.7 mph off the bat, hit 36.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.9% of them and made contact on 67.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 71 wRC+ puts his offence 29% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -6.8 runs with the bat, -0.6 for the ballpark, +0.9 on the bases, +0.7 on double plays, +1.6 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.
