Vimael Machín is a third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2025 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 1 hit across 12 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .091, 62.9% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .167 clip and slugged .364, for an OPS of .530, 26.2% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 85.4 mph off the bat, hit 33.3% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.1% of them and made contact on 69.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 38 wRC+ puts his offence 62% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.9 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 Vimael Machín 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.
