WAR Leaders At Ages 19 & 20 Combined Among Position Players

Harper has a WAR of 1.5 in 63 games this year. If he plays the rest of the season and gets 1.5 more, he would reach 8.2. Machado has 4.8 in 102 games this year. If gets 2.4 more this year he would be at 8.8. Maybe three of the greatest young players ever are out there right now.
