Cam Smith is a right fielder for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he hit 21 home runs and knocked in 56 RBIs, notching 107 hits across 568 plate appearances in 151 games. His batting average was .210, 14.0% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .279 clip and slugged .390, for an OPS of .669, 7.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — 9th of 15 on his team, and 299th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.7 mph off the bat, hit 43.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 10.4% of them and made contact on 70.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 85 wRC+ puts his offence 15% below average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -11.2 runs with the bat, +0.8 for the ballpark, +0.9 on the bases, -4.6 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.

How hard and at what angle he hits it, over 365 tracked batted balls in 2026. Percentiles are against qualified batters.

Contact rate70.8%

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.
