Single-Season WAR Records
The best individual seasons in Yount League history, across every season on record. Pitchers are rated two ways at once, both for what they controlled and for what actually happened behind them; the final board tracks the widest gaps between those two views, the luckiest and unluckiest seasons ever thrown.

Season 62 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) Rankings
For years, we borrowed a WAR formula off the WIS forums and plugged our stats in. We've since built our own. Every value here is solved from the Yount League's own history rather than lifted from Major League Baseball: how much a double is worth, how hard each position is to fill, what a defensive play actually saves. Defense finally counts for what it should, and pitchers are rated two ways at once, both for what they controlled and for what actually happened behind them. Ze

Season 62 Minor League Power Rankings
Lebanon, KS - With the minor league playoffs complete, it's great to look back at the minor league regular season to see who the top teams were.

Season 61 Organization of the Year
In the Yount League, the most esteemed honor is the Organization of the Year award. According to league rules, we seek owners with well-rounded organizations, which is why there is a minimum win rate requirement for the minor leagues. For the first time since we started tracking, we had a tie at the top spot between the Kansas City Royals and the Milwaukee Brewers, both amassing 766 points. The Royals relied on an astonishing 500 total wins, with a title at AA and World Seri

Season 62 All-Stars
Members of the Yount League often debate the legitimacy of all-star recognition, despite the presence of an official all-star game at the major league level. This was one of the more balanced all-star selections at the MLB level, as the Brewers had six selections and more than half the league had two or more. This year, just six teams had no players selected, down from eight, since there are no mandatory selections. At the bottom, we have an all-time list of all-star select

Season 56 Draft Index
Baton Rouge, LA (GUGUGOOHG) - Evaluating a draft class immediately after the draft can be challenging, as initial impressions may suggest the draft isn't powerful. However, at Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone, we've developed a formula to evaluate the success of draft classes by analyzing past years. This formula assigns points based on the number of players still active in the sport, awarding more points to those who have made it to the major leagues, with extra bonuses dep

Season 62 Vegas Win Totals
Las Vegas, NV - The Greenlight Casino rolls the dice every year, hoping to hit the jackpot, so go ahead and place your bets. This always has league members sweating like they're in a sauna, especially when it affects attendance numbers. This year, due to an FBI investigation into activities at the Greenlight Casino related to a certain individual named Frank, the totals were disrupted, so we had to shut down before the season. As a result, we now have the season and live to
