WAR glossary
Fangraphs has had it for a while. In the section “Background on WAR”, there’s a link to a 15 part article as to how to calculate WAR. I also had a basic thread on the matter three years ago.
This post is in response to a Primer reader who said:
I again ask where I can find a detailed breakdown of how WAR components are calculated. I don’t see it on Sean’s site or on b-r. If the answer is that this information is not public, then that’s the answer. Is that the answer? Is this stuff black box?
You can also see all the leaders here, with the breakdowns (and David allows you to export it to Excel too). One thing I’d like to see from Fangraphs is to combine fielding+position (as an option). This way, you can better display the “best fielders”, when you do a sort. I understand you may want the two separate. I’m just saying to have both (separate, and as a group of two).
