WAR7

A player’s best seven seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called LONG PEAK.

WAR5C

A player’s best five consecutive seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called PLAYER PRIME.

WAR3

A player’s best three seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called SHORT PEAK.

WAR PER SN

A player’s Wins Above Replacement (WAR) per season (calculated for 162 games).
