Over the course of his career,
Ernie Banks
made 10,394 plate appearances.
Banks was worth 62.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 28.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 62.5 WAR becomes
63.9 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 28.4 WAA becomes 37.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Banks 127.3 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).
Ernie Banks has a Hall Rating of 126,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
