Jakson Reetz is a catcher for the San Francisco Giants. In 2024 he hit 1 home run and knocked in 1 RBI, notching 2 hits across 15 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .143, 41.3% lower than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .200 clip and slugged .429, for an OPS of .629, 11.6% lower than the league mark of .711. He averaged 85.5 mph off the bat, hit 44.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.1% of them and made contact on 57.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 69 wRC+ puts his offence 31% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.6 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, +0.3 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 Jakson Reetz 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.
