Zach Remillard is a second baseman for the Chicago White Sox. In 2024 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 8 hits across 39 plate appearances in 13 games. His batting average was .242, level with the league average of .243. He reached base at a .342 clip and slugged .333, for an OPS of .675, 5.0% lower than the league mark of .711. He averaged 82.6 mph off the bat, hit 30.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 4.3% of them and made contact on 80.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 100 wRC+ puts his offence 0% below average. That comes to 0.2 dbWAR — -0.1 runs with the bat, +0.1 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.

A barrel is a batted ball whose exit velocity and launch angle have historically produced at least a .500 average and 1.500 slugging — 98 mph within 26–30°, widening to 8–50° by 116 mph. Reconstructed from Statcast's published anchor points, which reproduces them exactly; the interior is within a degree. Sweet spot (8–32°) is an exact definition.

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.
