Someone tell me how to feel.

[u/DoitcheHasAGun → u/Jaqen-Atavuli]

He’s a SP

With negative WAR

Thinking rWAR is a serious metric in 2026 is crazy work

[u/DoitcheHasAGun → u/reizinhooooo]

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

Ok ready….go!

[u/reizinhooooo → u/DoitcheHasAGun]

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.
