Luke Keaschall is a second baseman for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he hit 6 home runs and knocked in 34 RBIs, notching 97 hits across 432 plate appearances in 110 games. His batting average was .262, 7.6% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .353 clip and slugged .359, for an OPS of .712, 1.0% lower than the league mark of .719 — 8th of 13 on his team, and 204th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 84.2 mph off the bat, hit 28.6% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 83.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 107 wRC+ puts his offence 7% above average. That comes to 1.7 dbWAR — +1.9 runs with the bat, -0.4 on the bases, +1.0 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.
