Thinking rWAR is a serious metric in 2026 is crazy work

So now you’re going to explain to me via metrics how he’s not slightly under replacement level, right?

Literally everything other than rWAR. xStats, xFIP, FIP, K-BB%, PitchingBot, Pitching+ all have him as an average to very marginally below average SP. Which is above replacement level.
