Masyn Winn is a shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2026 he hit 5 home runs and knocked in 56 RBIs, notching 109 hits across 532 plate appearances in 132 games. His batting average was .232, 5.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .308 clip and slugged .317, for an OPS of .625, 13.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — 14th of 19 on his team, and 368th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.0 mph off the bat, hit 35.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.1% of them and made contact on 76.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 80 wRC+ puts his offence 20% below average. That comes to 1.2 dbWAR — -14.3 runs with the bat, +1.2 for the ballpark, -0.0 on the bases, -0.3 on double plays, +8.0 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.

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.
