Generation

WAR measures how many more wins a player contributes to their team compared to a "replacement level" player—basically a readily available minor leaguer or bench player who could fill that roster spot. A WAR of 0 means you're performing like that replacement player, while positive values indicate you're adding wins above that baseline (a WAR of 5 means your team won roughly 5 more games with you than they would have with a replacement). The stat combines all aspects of a player's contribution—hitting, fielding, baserunning, and position difficulty—into a single number, making it useful for comparing players across different positions and eras. It's not perfect, but it gives us a reasonably comprehensive way to answer "how valuable is this player?"
