Over the course of his career,
Lou Brock
made 11,240 plate appearances.
Brock was worth 42.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 42.8 WAR becomes
42.8 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 8.4 WAA becomes 17.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brock 72.0 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 Brock has a Hall Rating of 71,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
