PIV (Player Impact Value) Leaders

About PIV

PIV (Player Impact Value) measures a player's total offensive contribution by combining their offensive production (wOBA) with their playing time (plate appearances). It's calculated as:

PIV = (wOBA - League Average wOBA) × PA

PIV captures both quality and quantity - the best players sustain elite performance over many plate appearances. Positive values indicate above-average offensive production, while negative values indicate below-average performance.
