Johnathan Rodríguez is a right fielder for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 2 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 15 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .182, 25.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .333 clip and slugged .273, for an OPS of .606, 15.8% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 90.6 mph off the bat, hit 50.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 72.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 80 wRC+ puts his offence 20% below average. That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.4 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 Johnathan Rodríguez 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.
