Over the course of his career,
Jim Bottomley
made 8,353 plate appearances.
Bottomley
was worth
35.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.8 WAR becomes
36.7 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 8.7 WAA becomes 16.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bottomley 66.1 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).
Jim Bottomley has a Hall Rating of
62,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
