Over the course of his career,
Bobby Bonds
made 8,090 plate appearances.
Bonds
was worth
57.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 31.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 57.7 WAR becomes
57.8 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 31.8 WAA becomes 33.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bonds 117.9 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).
Bobby Bonds has a Hall Rating of
111,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
