Putting it all together - a WAR stat
TL;DR We try to put the hitting, fielding, and running stats together to create a WAR stat. See sWeAR in the sheet.
With all the offensive stats we’ve calculated so far, we can try to calculate a WAR stat now. Following Fangraph’s
guide we can put everything together. But hey, we need some constants to help us know how to convert wOBA to runs and all that. We can re-use our wOBA constants and calculate what the wSB stats, outs per run stats, and runs per win stats are for OOTP. Or, we could calculate our own constants using
this article. I’m not currently using it in a major stat but I added
the code as an example in the linear_weights folder.
I adjust the defensive ratings to account for everything. You may need to change the adjustments yourself. Full code for sWeAR (scipper’s wins expected above replacement) is
here.
