Josh VanMeter has an estimated 3 years and 38 days of major league service time — 3.038 in the notation clubs use, from 554 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Cincinnati Reds | 121 | 0.121 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds | 122 | 1.071 | From transactions |
| 2021 | Arizona Diamondbacks | 158 | 2.057 | From transactions |
| 2022 | Pittsburgh Pirates | 153 | 3.038 | 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.
