Which Atlanta Braves players are the best? Does WAR reflect this? While there is a natural skepticism towards contemporary analytics and data, does WAR accurately represent how the greatest players on the Atlanta Braves are perceived? Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is the one statistic in the age of baseball statistics that may be considered strange.

The 6-foot-3 big now holds the second-most rebounds by a rookie in league history after surpassing Indiana Fever standout Aliyah Boston in the WNBA record book. With plenty of time remaining in the game, she helped herself to a victory over Boston on Friday by grabbing her 336th rebound of the year against the Connecticut Sun. Boston previously held the record from her…

The $92 million forward for the Maple Leafs returns earlier than planned. Supporters of the Toronto Maple Leafs are free to criticize forward and Core Four member William Nylander all they want, but the top player simply wasn’t able to put in a better effort as he prepared for the upcoming campaign. Much earlier than most people expected, Nylander returned to Canada early to take part in a photo shoot for Sherwood Hockey and the launch of a new hockey stick called the “Feather Lite XT.” This move may cause the forward to return to the rink sooner than anticipated…

American League Powerhouse Reunites with Former Philadelphia Phillies Star. A former star of the Philadelphia Phillies is back with his old team. Something that keeps motivating the Philadelphia Phillies as they try to win their first World Series since 2008 is their close call against the Houston Astros in 2022, when they led by two games to one before their opponent ultimately raised the trophy. It was a bitter thing to stomach, particularly considering that their longtime reliever was a significant factor in their outing. Hector Neris spent eight years with the Phillies from 2014-21. They signed him as a…
