Jim Jarvis is a shortstop for the Atlanta Braves. In 2026 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 11 RBIs, notching 22 hits across 103 plate appearances in 31 games. His batting average was .234, 3.9% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .280 clip and slugged .340, for an OPS of .620, 13.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — the worst on his team, and 343rd of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.8 mph off the bat, hit 38.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 83.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 71 wRC+ puts his offence 29% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -3.5 runs with the bat, -0.5 on the bases, +1.3 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.

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.
