Baseball analysts often criticize pitcher win-loss records as a
poor measure of pitcher performance, as wins are the product of
team performance. Fans criticize WAR (Wins Above Replacement)
because it takes in theoretical rather than actual wins. Player
won-lost records bridge the gap between these two schools of
thought, giving credit to all players for what they do - without
credit or blame for teammates' performance - and measuring
contributions to actual team wins and losses. The result is a
statistic of player value that quantifies all aspects of individual
performance, allowing for robust comparisons between players across
different positions and different seasons. Using play-by-play data,
this book examines players' won-lost records in Major League
Baseball from 1930 through 2015.
