Chase Meidroth is a second baseman for the Chicago White Sox. In 2026 he hit 11 home runs and knocked in 46 RBIs, notching 114 hits across 475 plate appearances in 113 games. His batting average was .274, 12.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .350 clip and slugged .404, for an OPS of .754, 4.7% higher than the league mark of .719 — 5th of 14 on his team, and 127th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 85.5 mph off the bat, hit 35.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 80.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 115 wRC+ puts his offence 15% above average. That comes to 2.4 dbWAR — +7.3 runs with the bat, -1.2 on the bases, +2.4 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.
