Jordan Lawlar is a center fielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks. So far in 2026 he has hit 6 home runs and knocked in 16 RBIs, notching 31 hits across 133 plate appearances in 41 games. His batting average is .256, 5.0% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .318 clip and slugged .463, for an OPS of .781, 8.7% higher than the league mark of .719 — 4th of 18 on his team, and 98th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.4 mph off the bat, hit 31.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 7.2% of them and made contact on 72.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 117 wRC+ puts his offence 17% above average. That comes to 0.8 dbWAR — +2.6 runs with the bat, +0.0 for the ballpark, +0.4 on the bases, -0.1 on double plays, +0.3 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.
