Masyn Winn is a shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2026 he hit 4 home runs and knocked in 47 RBIs, notching 95 hits across 448 plate appearances in 109 games. His batting average was .242, 0.8% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .319 clip and slugged .323, for an OPS of .642, 10.7% lower than the league mark of .719 — 10th of 14 on his team, and 315th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 87.8 mph off the bat, hit 35.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 2.9% of them and made contact on 77.4% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 85 wRC+ puts his offence 15% below average. That comes to 1.2 dbWAR — -9.2 runs with the bat, +0.5 on the bases, +5.6 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.
