Over the course of his career,
Pete Browning
made 5,315 plate appearances
and pitched 0 innings.
Browning was worth 38.0 Wins Above Replacement
(38.2 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher)
and 26.9 Wins Above Average
(27.2 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.0 WAR becomes
45.3 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 26.9 WAA becomes 28.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Browning 92.9 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).
Pete Browning has a Hall Rating of 92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
