Can someone explain to me what WAR is & how it's determined?

Thanks in advance. For instance, what is Nate's WAR this year? Just looking at his play with the naked eye and looking over his overall numbers, I'd think his WAR would be rather decent/good.

 

Thanks again, guys.

Nate's WAR is 2.1, which has him tied with Samardzija and Wood for the team lead.

Good call. Could have gone with the song or Seinfeld reference!
