Harry Ford is a catcher for the Washington Nationals. In 2026 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 6 RBIs, notching 7 hits across 42 plate appearances in 12 games. His batting average was .200, 17.9% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .457, for an OPS of .790, 9.9% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 83.0 mph off the bat, hit 28.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 75.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 119 wRC+ puts his offence 19% above average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — +1.1 runs with the bat, +0.1 on the bases, +0.7 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.
