I can kind of see a 2.2 difference in WAR there.
I do think it’s odd that an average or slightly below average fielding position player at most positions, is docked more off their Overall WAR score, than a DH.
Ohtani and Ozuna both sport a -1.1 DWar score for being permanent DH’s, but it doesn’t affect their Overall WAR score at all. It’s still the same as their Offensive WAR.

Yeah, this is confusing. I guess they are essentially saying playing DH is neutral to your overall WAR?
But playing, let's say a bad leftfield, can be very detrimental to your WAR.
Doesn't seem particularly fair to me.
