Joe Gerhardt career stats

LWAR is our own wins above replacement, position-player side (batting, baserunning, double plays, position, fielding). A season split between clubs or leagues shows its LWAR divided by plate appearances. How it is built: the career stats method.

One row per franchise: a club that moved or changed its name is one row under its current name. WS5 was the Washington Blue Legs 1873; BL1 was the Baltimore Canaries 1874; NY2 was the New York Mutuals 1875; LS1 was the Louisville Grays 1876-1877; CN1 was the Cincinnati Reds 1878-1879; DTN was the Detroit Wolverines 1881; LS2 was the Louisville Eclipse 1883-1884, Louisville Colonels 1891; SF (San Francisco Giants) includes New York Giants 1885-1887; NY4 was the New York Metropolitans 1887; BR4 was the Brooklyn Gladiators 1890; STL (St. Louis Cardinals) includes St. Louis Browns 1890. The Career row is the sum of the club rows. OPS+ and ERA+ use the plate-appearance (or outs) weighted league average of the seasons in each row, not park-adjusted. LWAR for a season split between clubs is divided by plate appearances (batting) or outs (pitching).

Computed here from the season totals and each league-season's run environment: league-adjusted, not park-adjusted, the same as OPS+ and ERA+. Rates that need a stat the early record never kept (strikeouts, batters faced) read - for those seasons. Formulas and inputs: how the career stats are built.

Runs above average or replacement, by component: Bat = batting runs, Run = baserunning, DP = double-play avoidance, Pos = positional adjustment, Fld = fielding, Lg = league re-centering, Repl = the replacement-level credit for playing time. LWAR = the runs added up and divided by that year's runs per win. Fielding comes from a zone model that is validated from 1988 on; catcher and pitcher defense and park effects are not included.
