Read our Announcement. About Baseball Reference. How to Use WAR The idea behind the WAR framework is that we want to know how much better a player is than a player that would typically be available to replace that player. Version 2. A major change to runs-to-win calculation.
See our Runs to Wins Page for a full explanation. We now handle runs-to-wins calculations in an exact rather than an estimated way. Leverage Index adjustment is now only applied to relief pitchers. Leverage Index used is now the LI at the time the reliever entered the game rather than the average LI for all of their plate appearances.
This is weighted by number of batters faced. The adjustment for the difference in league starter and reliever ERA has been moved to the calculation of league average rather than the league replacement level. BUG: Fixed a park factor bug. Pitcher opponent strength was not neutralized, so a park factor was being applied to a non-park adjusted number.
Now the pitcher opponent strength is converted to a neutral environment, averaged for all opponents and then park adjusted based on a custom park factor for each pitcher based on the exact parks they pitched in. Some feedback of version 2. Estimation of CS numbers for leagues they are missing.
Use of a player-influenced runs-to-win conversion for both batters and pitchers based on PythagenPat. Use of a player-specific park factor for pitchers weighted by actual appearances in each park. After a preliminary WAR calculation, we fine-tune the replacement level on a playing time basis, so the total WAR in each league is very consistent year-to-year.
In our view, even a poor defensive catcher is likely equally valuable to a good defensive first baseman in terms of team defense. Version 1.
