Jack Suwinski is a center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2025 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 10 RBIs, notching 22 hits across 178 plate appearances in 56 games. His batting average was .147, 40.2% lower than the league average of .245. He reached base at a .281 clip and slugged .253, for an OPS of .534, 25.7% lower than the league mark of .719 — the second worst on his team, and 438th of 461 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.8 mph off the bat, hit 38.7% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 11.8% of them and made contact on 67.9% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 57 wRC+ puts his offence 43% below average. That comes to -0.3 dbWAR — -9.0 runs with the bat, +0.7 on the bases, -0.9 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.
