I've really paid closer attention this year to the advanced stats and peripherals as I've tracked the live updates. And generally-speaking, I think I understand much better the process and logic you're using to determine player ratings, and it makes sense. However, there is one big outlier for me: J.T. Realmuto

I'll explain - the big discrepancy for me is where he started vs. his performance - meaning, if he started the season as a 90 overall, I could make sense of it; but he started the season as a 100.

As of the last update (not taking into account anything since September 4th), he already, at that point, had a career high in WAR - additionally, he was tied for his career high in DWAR (with a month left), while posting an also tied for his career-high 126 OPS+

As compared to last year, where he was a full 1 WAR less, in both overall and defense, with a 110 OPS+.

Starting the year at 100, and then being a 95 on September 4th with career numbers in both offense and defense... this one I really don't understand. What is J.T. Realmuto doing worse this year as opposed to last year?

Overall, the ratings seem to be accurate and fair. I'm just really not seeing how J.T. got his rating.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
