Brandon Lockridge is a left fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs, notching 25 hits across 99 plate appearances in 31 games. His batting average was .284, 16.6% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .357 clip and slugged .330, for an OPS of .687, 4.5% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 82.0 mph off the bat, hit 32.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 72.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 99 wRC+ puts his offence 1% below average. That comes to 0.3 dbWAR — -0.2 runs with the bat, +1.0 on the bases, -1.2 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.
