Last with Washington Nationals · DH · No longer on a 40-man roster
Zach Walters has an estimated 1 year and 5 days of major league service time — 1.005 in the notation clubs use, from 177 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Washington Nationals | 28 | 0.028 | From transactions |
| 2014 | Cleveland Indians, Washington Nationals | 100 | 0.128 | From transactions |
| 2015 | Cleveland Indians | 44 | 1.000 | From transactions |
| 2016 | Los Angeles Dodgers | 5 | 1.005 | From transactions |
172 days credit a full year, so a season adds at most 1.000 no matter how long a player is on a roster. 3.000 years reaches salary arbitration and 6.000 reaches free agency —
what every threshold unlocks.
