Edouard Julien is a second baseman for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 20 RBIs, notching 49 hits across 276 plate appearances in 86 games. His batting average was .208, 14.8% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .322 clip and slugged .292, for an OPS of .615, 14.5% lower than the league mark of .719 — 11th of 14 on his team, and 348th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.4 mph off the bat, hit 49.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 7.3% of them and made contact on 76.3% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 77 wRC+ puts his offence 23% below average. That comes to 0.1 dbWAR — -6.4 runs with the bat, -0.7 on the bases, -0.7 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.
