Collin Price is a catcher for the Houston Astros. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 13 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average was .167, 31.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .231 clip and slugged .250, for an OPS of .481, 33.2% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 93.0 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 38.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 33 wRC+ puts his offence 67% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -1.0 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.1 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.

Head to head
Put Collin Price beside up to three others.
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.
