Owen Caissie is a right fielder for the Miami Marlins. In 2026 he hit 12 home runs and knocked in 51 RBIs, notching 55 hits across 269 plate appearances in 85 games. His batting average was .231, 5.2% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .294 clip and slugged .433, for an OPS of .726, 1.0% higher than the league mark of .719 — 8th of 15 on his team, and 171st of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.2 mph off the bat, hit 45.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 14.0% of them and made contact on 63.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 100 wRC+ puts his offence 0% below average. That comes to 0.4 dbWAR — -1.0 runs with the bat, +0.1 on the bases, -4.0 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.

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.
