NaiveWAR 2023
Four years ago, in a series of tweets, I introduced NaiveWAR, essentially the simplest uber-metric possible. I finally coded it up last night. Here are the results for 2023 (click to embiggen).
True to its name, I used the absolute most minimum information I could, and still give plausible, naive, results. That data is exclusively limited to players who participated in: Runs, Outs, Plate Appearances. And that is it. I couldn't have made it any more naive and still give plausible results. Cashmere Ohtani is that red dot.
