Cooper Pratt is a shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2026 he hit 2 home runs and knocked in 17 RBIs, notching 37 hits across 159 plate appearances in 44 games. His batting average was .272, 11.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .352 clip and slugged .368, for an OPS of .720, level with the league mark of .719 — 7th of 14 on his team, and 185th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 86.3 mph off the bat, hit 30.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.8% of them and made contact on 74.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 105 wRC+ puts his offence 5% above average. That comes to 0.9 dbWAR — +0.8 runs with the bat, +0.9 on the bases, +2.0 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.
