The squads were selected through league-wide vote, and although each all-star has shined on the field, some of the league\u2019s best players were left out of the festivities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">All-Star snubs are a common occurrence. St. Louis Cardinals\u2019 second baseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/e\/edmanto01.shtml\">Tommy Edman<\/a> has enjoyed a breakout season, putting up 4.5 rWAR, the third highest total of all major league position players. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/ceasedy01.shtml\">Dylan Cease<\/a> has twirled an MLB leading 150 strikeouts to go along with a 2.15 ERA. Due to the nature of Northwoods League voting, many players have flown under the radar, lacking flashy numbers but putting up strong advanced metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">In observance of this, I have created brand new All-WAR teams, using the same roster size and structure as the Northwoods League, just with my created Win Above Replacement

\/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Similar to Kokomo in the Great Lakes division, my All-WAR team has left out a couple Great Plains teams: Minnesota Mud Puppies (6-17) and Eau Claire Express (28-18). Minnesota only plays a 36 game road schedule to account for the dormant Thunder Bay Border Cats (Canadian COVID restrictions), making it difficult for players to accumulate enough WAR to keep up with the rest of the league. Surprisingly, Eau Claire did not have a representative despite their record, although their 24-22 expected Pythagorean record (+4 xLuck) gives reason to be bearish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">In fairness, I will mention each team\u2019s current WAR leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><strong>OF Cadyn Schwabe \u2013 Eau Claire Express via North Dakota State University<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>.294\/.436\/.353, 2 HR 12 RBI<strong>, 1.<u>05<\/u> WAR<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><strong>1B Jackson Hauge \u2013 Minnesota Mud Puppies via Minnesota State University Mankato<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>.329\/.438\/.487, 2 HR 13 RBI, <strong>0.8 WAR<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">So, what creates the divide between All-WAR and All-Star? The league\u2019s best players have no issue making it on to both teams, but that was not the case for 31 of the 54 All-WAR players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">The first cause is player availability. In summer ball, by nature, players will come and go all season, often seeing their season cut short for personal reasons or at their collegiate coach\u2019s desire. This is seen most often in pitchers, as Madison\u2019s Dan Wright and Mankato\u2019s Donovan Schultz are two of the many inactive players on the All-WAR team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Park factors are certainly overlooked in the voting process, and the most extreme example of this can be found in Ty Crittenberger of the Rockford Rivets. Rockford is by far the most hitter friendly ballpark, with an offensive factor of 118.8 and defensive of 120.3. (100 is league average, with higher values indicating increased offense, likely due to park dimensions, elevation, weather, etc.). Let\u2019s take a look at how Crittenberger\u2019s WAR would change if he put up the exact same numbers in a neutral ballpark.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><strong>OF Ty Crittenberger \u2013 Rockford Rivets via Western Kentucky University<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>.278\/.424\/.424, 3 HR 27 RBI, <strong>1.2 WAR -&gt; 1.7 WAR (All-WAR level!)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">For position players, voters may also be looking at the wrong metrics. Batting average is very prominent in the eyes of most fans, leading them to overlook players with a high on-base percentage. A strong example of this can be seen in the Great Lakes division with Fisher Pyatt and Grant Broussard.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><strong>2B Fisher Pyatt \u2013 Battle Creek Battle Jacks via San Diego State University<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>.241\/.418\/.353, 2 HR 23 RBI, <strong>1.1 WAR <\/strong>(155 PA)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><strong>3B Grant Broussard \u2013 Wisconsin Rapids Rafters via Utah Valley University<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><em>.235\/.321\/.347, 3 HR 30 RBI, <strong>0.1 WAR <\/strong>(194 PA)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">The two players have near identical batting average, slugging percentage, home run rates (Pyatt 1.3%, Broussard 1.5%), weighted stolen bases (Pyatt -0.79, Broussard -1.25), home park factors (Pyatt 92.6, Broussard 94.9). Broussard has played a longer season, with 39 more plate appearances, allowing him more opportunities to accumulate WAR. Despite all of this, Pyatt looks like an all-star while Broussard is near replacement level. This has everything to do with each player\u2019s ability to draw walks. Pyatt\u2019s elite 20% walk rate is 8<sup>th<\/sup> in the entire Northwoods League among qualified hitters, while Broussard\u2019s 7.7% is 99<sup>th<\/sup> (out of 108). To further prove my point, 7 of the top 10 players in BB% are on the All-WAR team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Finally, my metric may be negatively affecting relief pitchers. Following the methodology of <a href=\"https:\/\/library.fangraphs.com\/war\/calculating-war-pitchers\/\">Fangraphs<\/a>, the replacement adjustment for starting pitchers is more generous than it is for relievers. This is because an injury to a starting pitcher may result in a new starter being called up from Triple A, which can be a drastic difference in quality. An injury to a closing pitcher does not result in a new closer from Triple A, instead the 8<sup>th<\/sup> inning man will likely assume the role. While the Northwoods League does not have a minor league, there are new players being called in as replacements daily. Fangraphs aids relivers slightly with Leverage Index, but the collection of that data would be tiresome and potentially inaccurate. Instead, workhorse starting pitchers have taken their spot on the All-WAR team after throwing 40+ quality innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">After all, WAR doesn\u2019t always measure a player\u2019s skill, it measures how many wins their contributions on the field add to a team\u2019s total. Naturally, batters with more plate appearances and pitchers with more innings will produce higher WAR totals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Check back later for in-depth articles on how I calculated WAR for the Northwoods League, as well as other metrics such as Expected Pythagorean Standings and Win Probability
