Sung-Mun Song is a second baseman for the San Diego Padres. In 2026 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 15 RBIs, notching 23 hits across 127 plate appearances in 48 games. His batting average was .213, 12.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .320 clip and slugged .278, for an OPS of .598, 16.9% lower than the league mark of .719 — 11th of 14 on his team, and 361st of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 84.4 mph off the bat, hit 25.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 78.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 78 wRC+ puts his offence 22% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -3.7 runs with the bat, +0.4 on the bases, +0.7 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.
