I'd be curious how this ranking matches up against WAR.

Ottavino less than two quarters short of Schaefer glory. If he'd held a runner or two on, he'd be swimming in suds.

Alonso had the fourth highest 2023 WAR at 3.2 behind Lindor 6.0,
Senga 4.5 and Nimmo at 4.0.

He led the team in POLAR.

Very interesting. Thanks. Why do you suppose that is?

Schaefer voters don't necessarily take defense into account, WAR does

Schaefer doesn't require as many points to be doled out in losses. WAR doesn't care

Schaefer compresses the points players can earn by capping at 10, WAR doesn't

Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one. WAR is friend only to the undertaker.

Ruf year for the bench mob that Darrin was bench player of the year last season, albeit with a tragically low score , although a team that won 100+ probably didn't see a lot from the bench ?

Anyway, Happy I participated this season, probably only missed 6 games

And terrific work. This should help Pete Alonso in his quest for a billion dollars.
