Amed Rosario is a third baseman for the New York Yankees. In 2026 he hit 10 home runs and knocked in 28 RBIs, notching 42 hits across 197 plate appearances in 68 games. His batting average was .231, 5.3% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .274 clip and slugged .434, for an OPS of .708, 1.6% lower than the league mark of .719 — 5th of 13 on his team, and 208th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.2 mph off the bat, hit 38.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 10.4% of them and made contact on 72.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 88 wRC+ puts his offence 12% below average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -2.3 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.5 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.
