Mookie Betts has accomplished quite a bit in his career. He is a seven-time All-Star, three-time All-MLB first team, a former American League MVP and batting champion, and a two-time World Series champion.
He climbed one more step on the ladder toward Cooperstown by reaching a career WAR of 70.1.
For those unfamiliar with the terminology of wins above replacement, the stat measures a player’s value in all facets of the game by deciphering how many more wins he’s worth than a replacement-level player at his same position.
According to Baseball Reference, Betts is the 71st player in the database to surpass 70.
