Tony Kemp is a second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2024 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 0 hits across 10 plate appearances in 5 games. His batting average was .000, 100.0% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .100 clip and slugged .000, for an OPS of .100, 85.9% lower than the league mark of .711. He averaged 76.2 mph off the bat, hit 12.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 86.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his -70 wRC+ puts his offence 170% below average. That comes to -0.2 dbWAR — -2.0 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.0 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 Tony Kemp 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.
