Fan Rating
Rate Al Myers — All-Time
7 seasons · peak 6.0 in 1890
VAL (Value Above League) measures each MLB season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.
5.8 career wins over 7 seasons · 1 win = 2.61 VAL
Best season · 1890 · +2.3 wins
2.3 of PHI's 78 wins (3%)
Latest season · 1891 · +0.7 wins
0.7 of PHI's 68 wins (1%)
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a MLB player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins, counted from pitcher decisions, which can miss a few games; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
