If you click on the Leaders tab here on FanGraphs, you’ll be taken to this page, which shows you the performance of position players in 2014. If you wanted to see who the best pitchers of the year have been, you have had to switch over to the pitcher’s tab, and there was no place on the site to see a list with pitchers and hitters in the same place. Until now.

Thanks to David Appelman, we have a new WAR leaderboard that shows the totals for both position players and pitchers in the same spot. Additionally, since WAR is a counting stat, there is no playing time minimum that needs to be met, so you’ll see Troy Tulowitzki still ranks 9th overall in WAR this season, though he won’t appear on the batting leaders page because he has not met the standards of qualification for the batting average title set out by MLB. This list is the best place to look if you want to see how someone stacks up against all players, not just position players or pitchers.

You can access this leaderboard at any time from the dropdown under the leaders tab. It is listed under WAR tools, and is called Combined WAR Leaderboard.

The leaderboard can be sorted by league, or by team, so if you want to see all of your team’s players in one list, you can do that from here. And this tool goes back through 1871, so you can also use this for prior years as well.

You’ll also notice a note in the upper right-hand corner of the page that is worth mentioning here; these listed WAR totals are only for the player’s primary responsibility, so it’s batting WAR for batters or pitching WAR for pitchers.

While some NL pitchers do accumulate real value at the plate, we thought it made more sense to have the numbers be consistent with what we show on the player pages and the leaderboards, rather than having this be the only place on FanGraphs where batting and pitching WAR are added together. And of course, AL pitchers are not given the opportunity to produce value at the plate, so it’s a little bit of apples-to-orange comparison. But we do list batting WAR for pitchers (and pitching WAR for position players) on their player pages and the leaderboards, so if you want to create a leaderboard that accounts for this, you can do that. That’s just not what this tool is for.

We hope you enjoy the new feature.
