Over the course of his career,
Dave Bancroft
made 8,248 plate appearances.
Bancroft was worth 46.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 23.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 46.5 WAR becomes
48.0 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 23.2 WAA becomes 27.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bancroft 94.4 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).
Dave Bancroft has a Hall Rating of 93,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
