How to read the final board
The regular season is complete, so these are final values and ranks, not probabilities. Statistical titles follow the official leaders. Rookie, relief and All-MLB boards rank BBMI's model value: it is measured above replacement level and includes park, position and baserunning adjustments, but omits catcher blocking/throwing, and it is not WAR or a prediction of any vote.
Statistical titles. Final regular-season totals from completed box scores through September 27, including available scoring corrections. League totals stay with the league where earned. Batting-title standings use exact fractions, a 502-PA threshold, and the hitless-at-bat exception; the table displays H/AB. Players with exactly equal totals share a rank.
ROY and relief. These rank BBMI’s performance score above replacement level (credit for playing time, as in WAR), not a ballot. Batting value uses the MVP model’s linear weights, adjusted for parks, plus the position adjustment, Statcast fielding runs and Statcast baserunning runs. Pitching value measures runs prevented against the model’s league-average baseline, adjusted for parks. MLB’s 2026 rookie pool supplies eligibility; there is no 400-PA or 100-IP cutoff for rookies. Relief eligibility requires zero starts and 30 innings. Full-season value is grouped by current league.
Managers. Wins above Talent: actual wins minus Talent times the games each manager managed, using BBMI’s Talent rating as of September 27. Interim managers are credited only with their own games. It measures team overperformance and does not claim every extra win belongs to the manager; it is not a forecast of the vote.
BBMI All-MLB. Rank by final BBMI runs, using the primary position by games appeared through September 27 (outfield positions grouped). Minimum 400 projected PA; starters need 100 projected IP and at least half their appearances as starts. Relievers need 30 projected IP and zero starts to date. Two-way batting and pitching can earn separate selections. Exact value ties use player ID. This is BBMI’s model team, not a prediction of official selections.
