Over the course of his career,
Whitey Alperman
made 1,758 plate appearances.
Alperman
was worth
2.2 Wins Above Replacement
and -3.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.2 WAR becomes
2.1 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the -3.8 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Alperman 2.3 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Whitey Alperman has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
