Career

Totalled over the seasons published here, which is not the same as a whole career: a player who debuted before 2015 begins at 2015, not at his real first game.

Career batting totals. AVG and SLG are recomputed from the components rather than averaged; OBP, wOBA and wRC+ need each season’s own constants and are left to the table above.

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. To put these two beside a third, the comparison page takes up to four.
