FINAL GAME

WHO IS Brandon Webb?

Won the 2006 NL Cy Young Award and finished second the next two seasons. He was the best homegrown Diamondbacks pitcher in franchise history. Webb threw 42 consecutive scoreless innings from July 20th to August 17th, 2007. He was the first hurler to top 40 scoreless innings since Orel Hershiser in 1988. He pitched his last big league game at the age of 30, but a serious shoulder injury ended his career when he was 34 years old after numerous failed comeback attempts.

— Explanation of Advanced Statistics —

Wins Above Replacement is a non-standardized sabermetric statistic developed to sum up a player’s total contributions to his team. A player’s WAR value is claimed to be the number of additional wins his team has achieved above the number of expected team wins if that player were substituted with a replacement-level player:

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

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

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

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

Advanced statistical method devised by Bill James. A Win Share represents one-third of a team win, by definition, and takes into account defense, offense, baserunning, park effects, and level of competition, era, and many other factors.

A player’s best seven seasons according to his Win Shares. A measure of LONG PEAK.

A player’s best three seasons according to his Win Shares. A measure of a player’s SHORT PEAK.
