Over the course of his career,
Lou Boudreau
made 7,024 plate appearances.
Boudreau was worth 59.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 42.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.1 WAR becomes
60.7 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 42.2 WAA becomes 42.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Boudreau 132.3 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).
Lou Boudreau has a Hall Rating of 131,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
