What happens to baseball players whose career WARs have followed a certain trajectory? Projection systems give you an expectation for the upcoming year. I made a little tool to vizualize the recent past and near future for players similar to a comparison player of your choice.
Comparison Player:
Notes:
-
Here we visualize WAR600, or WAR per 600 plate appearances
-
“Similarity” is defined as the sum of the absolute distance between the player’s WAR over the previous three seasons compared to other players at the same ages.
-
Only position players are included here.
