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

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).

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).

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.
