The biggest bargain in the game right now, under the league-rate model: Gunnar Henderson, whose 19.6 LWAR over 2023-2025 were worth $112,150,767 against $2,396,824 of recorded pay, a surplus of $109,753,943. Team-control salaries dominate the top of a board like this by construction; that is the model telling you where production is cheapest, not who is underpaid by market standards.

For each of the 2023-2025 seasons: value = LWAR x that season's league $/LWAR rate (payroll / league LWAR), salary converted to 2026 dollars with BLS CPI-U. Surplus = value minus salary, summed over the window. Players with at least 1 LWAR and a joined salary record rank; the full formula set and its limitations are on the model page.
