Jonathan Ornelas is a second baseman for the Athletics. In 2026 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 0 RBIs, notching 2 hits across 13 plate appearances in 6 games. His batting average was .167, 31.6% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .231 clip and slugged .167, for an OPS of .397, 44.8% lower than the league mark of .719. He averaged 80.7 mph off the bat, hit 40.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 64.5% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 11 wRC+ puts his offence 89% below average. That comes to -0.1 dbWAR — -1.4 runs with the bat, -0.0 on the bases, -0.0 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 Jonathan Ornelas 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.
