Edwin Rios is a first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2024 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 1 hit across 10 plate appearances in 4 games. His batting average was .111, 54.3% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .111, for an OPS of .311, 56.3% lower than the league mark of .711. He averaged 85.0 mph off the bat, hit 20.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 52.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -7 wRC+ puts his offence 107% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.3 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.2 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 Edwin Rios 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.
