That said, I agree it’s not surprising. Contracts are pretty similar, one plays a position and one doesn’t. Schwarber might have a higher ceiling, but he also has a lower floor. WAR hates Kyle Schwarber. Alonso has been in the league 4 years less then him, but he still has a higher career WAR. Schwarber may have had the better most recent year, but Alonso has been more consistent overall.

Schwarber is actually a year and 9 months older than Alonso. Schwarber really only has 2 more full seasons in the league, but Alonso does have the higher WAR.
