Over the course of his career,
Jeff Bagwell
made 9,431 plate appearances.
Bagwell was worth 76.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 52.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 76.7 WAR becomes
78.5 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 52.0 WAA becomes 52.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bagwell 166.5 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).
Jeff Bagwell has a Hall Rating of 164,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
