Ohtani vs. Ozuna WAR differences
So Ohtani and Ozuna are both NL designated hitters with very similar hitting stats.
Ohtani's slash line is .292/.378/.614 with 40 HRs
Ozuna's slash line is .308/.379.588 with 37 HRs
Ohtani has 500 at bats to Ozuna has 481.
But Ohtani has a WAR of 6.5 and Ozuna has a WAR of only 4.3.
So Ohtani has more than 50% more WAR than Ozuna.
I understand Ohtani has 40 stolen bases and only 4 caught stealing vs. Ozuna's 0 stolen bases. And Ozuna has into 18 double plays vs. Ohtani's 6.
Ohtani has more doubles (29 to 24) and triples (6 to 0).
But does that explain why Ohtani has 50% more WAR than Ozuna?
What am I missing?
