Hi I'm a baseball newbie and my question is, what the heck is "WAR"? I found this website called Baseball Reference and it said Mike Trout had 10.6 "WAR" last year. Could someone explain how that is calculated, and walk me through how they got to that 10.6 number from his raw stats? Thanks

There's no way that MLB would secretly change the composition of the baseball in order to increase offense at a time when scoring is down around the league. That would be so blatant, everyone would see right through it.
