Edwin Arroyo is a second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 5 RBIs, notching 32 hits across 142 plate appearances in 40 games. His batting average was .244, level with the league average of .244. He reached base at a .286 clip and slugged .282, for an OPS of .568, 21.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — 13th of 15 on his team, and 391st of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.4 mph off the bat, hit 27.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 1.0% of them and made contact on 74.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 59 wRC+ puts his offence 41% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -7.0 runs with the bat, -0.4 on the bases, +0.6 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.
