I might also add that his WAR in 1949 and 1951 were 9.6 and 9.7 respectively. That is Mike Trout and Bryce Harper level. As well his WAR in other years of his prime hovered around that level as well.
Oh and since WAR is accumulative, he acquired his WAR in less games than they did. Given the additional 8 games it would be over 10 in both cases which are amongst some of the best seasons ever.
That is how good Jackie Robinson was as a player.
