Reading this table

wOBA weights each offensive outcome by the runs it is actually worth, using weights measured from this season's own play-by-play. wRC+ indexes that against the league and adjusts for park, so 100 is average. dbWAR is our own open implementation, not fWAR or bWAR. See the full derivation →
