Over the course of his career,
Roger Bresnahan
made 5,374 plate appearances
and pitched 50 innings.
Bresnahan was worth 39.9 Wins Above Replacement
(39.1 as a hitter and 0.8 as a pitcher)
and 23.4 Wins Above Average
(23.0 as a hitter and 0.4 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 39.9 WAR becomes
46.6 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 23.4 WAA becomes 28.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bresnahan 94.3 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).
Roger Bresnahan has a Hall Rating of 93,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
