@StatlineScout@ZachGmil32 Yes, and the top projection for next year by Steamer is 6.4 fWAR (6.9 if you use depth charts). Factor in some age regression for some of seasons/guys and they all look high (maybe not Miz/Caminero).
@CompositeTwins@Nyanasaur Yes, the ZIPs guy did and found "At least from the data we have, there’s little reason to believe that playing in the World Baseball Classic has a negative effect on a player’s regular-season performance, as a general rule*."

@GreenfieldMax18@Damon98_ He's never been a 5 win player, 2026's 3.5 fWAR is propped up by batted ball lucked and fluky looking baserunning and defensive WAR.
@JacobsFieldRBW Murakami had a high attack angle, thus he could hit it squarely with a high LA. The Burleson 4/12 HR shows that the Mura HR is reasonable, slightly slower swing and pitch, AA worse for his LA and it still went 111.6 mph. Probably a "good" baseball for MM HR but nothing crazy.
