Hunter Feduccia is a catcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2026 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs, notching 35 hits across 169 plate appearances in 61 games. His batting average was .235, 3.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .307 clip and slugged .336, for an OPS of .643, 10.6% lower than the league mark of .719 — 11th of 13 on his team, and 314th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.3 mph off the bat, hit 39.8% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 8.3% of them and made contact on 77.2% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 82 wRC+ puts his offence 18% below average. That comes to 0.5 dbWAR — -3.7 runs with the bat, -0.2 on the bases, +3.5 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.
