Standard Batting

Year	Age	Tm	Lg	G	PA	AB	SO	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS	OPS+	GIDP	SH	SF	IBB	Pos
1885	20	DTN	NL	18	11	11	5	.000	.000	.000	.000	-100					P
1886	21	CLV	NL	4	0	0	0	.000	.000	.000	.000		0	0	0	0	P
2 Yrs				22	11	11	5	.000	.000	.000	.000	-100	0	0	0	0

Bold = led the league. OPS+ compares OBP and SLG with the league average (100 = average; no park adjustment). Blank GIDP/SH/SF/IBB cells: that season's source data didn't track them (PA there = AB+BB+HBP).

Value Batting

Year	Age	Tm	Lg	PA	Rbat	Rbaser	Rpos	RAA	WAA	Rrep	RAR	WAR	oWAR	dWAR	Pos
1885	20	DTN	NL	11	-2.8	-0.1	0.8	-2.0	-0.2	0.4	-1.6	-0.1	-0.1	0.1	P

2 Yrs				11	-2.8	-0.1	0.8	-2.0	-0.2	0.4	-1.6	-0.1	-0.1	0.1

Runs above average from batting (Rbat), baserunning (Rbaser) and position (Rpos); RAA/WAA = runs/wins above average, Rrep = replacement runs, RAR = runs above replacement (see how WAR is calculated).

Advanced Batting

Year	Age	Tm	Lg	PA	BAbip	ISO	SO%	WIS WAR
1885	20	DTN	NL	11	.000	.000	45.5
1886	21	CLV	NL	0	.000	.000	0.0	0.0
2 Yrs				11	.000	.000	45.5	0.0

BAbip = batting average on balls in play; ISO = SLG − BA; HR%, SO%, BB%, XBH% are per plate appearance; X/H% = extra-base hits per hit; GB/FB and P/PA come from the sim's batted-ball and pitch counts; RC = runs created. eBA, Clutch and WIS WAR are WhatIfSports' own metrics (1886 onward).

Batting Splits

Year	Split	G	PA	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	SB	CS	BB	SO	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS	BAbip
1886	Home	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	.000	.000	.000	.000	.000
1886	Away	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	.000	.000	.000	.000	.000

Splits come from the WhatIfSports season export (available from 1886). Traded players' splits combine all of their teams that season.

Games by position come from the fielding data; GS = games started; PH/PR = games entered as a pinch hitter or pinch runner (counted from the box scores).

Standard Fielding

Positions listed in scorebook order (P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF). Ch = chances (PO+A+E); RF/9 = 9×(PO+A)/Inn; RF/G = (PO+A)/G; lgFld% and lgRF9 = league average at that position. +Plays/−Plays are the sim's good and poor defensive plays. For pitchers, SB/CS are runners stealing while he pitched.
