The top 50 Royals by WAR, Part 4

The most interesting part of this, the final entry in this series, is the huge leaps in value. For most of these rankings, the WAR has gone up fractionally from entry to entry; the highest jump before this entry was 2.5 combined WAR but 0.2 was far more common. Here, though, we see very nearly a 5 WAR difference between numbers 11 and 12. Then there is a 4 WAR jump from 10 to 9, a 12 WAR leap from 7 to 6, a 9 WAR hop from 4 to 5, and then the absolute highest WAR ever achieved by a Royal is nearly double that of the next highest player.
