Anthony Seigler is a second baseman for the Boston Red Sox. In 2026 he hit 3 home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs, notching 33 hits across 150 plate appearances in 40 games. His batting average was .248, 1.8% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .315 clip and slugged .398, for an OPS of .714, 0.8% lower than the league mark of .719 — 7th of 15 on his team, and 200th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.0 mph off the bat, hit 35.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.5% of them and made contact on 77.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 98 wRC+ puts his offence 2% below average. That comes to 0.5 dbWAR — -0.4 runs with the bat, +0.2 on the bases, +0.5 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.
