Oscar Colás is a right fielder for the Chicago White Sox. In 2024 he hit 0 home runs and knocked in 4 RBIs, notching 9 hits across 38 plate appearances in 13 games. His batting average was .273, 12.1% higher than the league average of .243. He reached base at a .368 clip and slugged .273, for an OPS of .641, 9.9% lower than the league mark of .711. He averaged 89.9 mph off the bat, hit 45.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 74.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 97 wRC+ puts his offence 3% below average. That comes to 0.0 dbWAR — -0.2 runs with the bat, -0.5 on the bases, -0.4 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 Oscar Colás 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.
