Pedro Ramírez is a second baseman for the Chicago Cubs. So far in 2026 he has hit 6 home runs and knocked in 32 RBIs, notching 61 hits across 261 plate appearances in 77 games. His batting average is .257, 5.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .315 clip and slugged .401, for an OPS of .716, level with the league mark of .719 — 8th of 13 on his team, and 197th of 462 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.6 mph off the bat, hit 39.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 4.2% of them and made contact on 79.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 96 wRC+ puts his offence 4% below average. That comes to 1.0 dbWAR — -1.0 runs with the bat, -0.1 for the ballpark, +1.0 on the bases, +1.0 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.
