We know this to be the case because the player volatility has decreased.

Sure they have. But WAR hasn't fully incorporated all of them. dWAR still requires a larger sample size.
You have to use the more specific ones like DRS. I'd imagine the proprietary stuff that heavily utilizes statcast would blow our minds.
I think we get great stuff from John Dewan and his boys, but I think the stuff that the teams never let see the light of day is probably quite a bit better.
