Over the course of his career,
Jesse Burkett
made 9,620 plate appearances
and pitched 123 innings.
Burkett was worth 57.5 Wins Above Replacement
(60.5 as a hitter and -3.0 as a pitcher)
and 26.9 Wins Above Average
(30.8 as a hitter and -3.9 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 57.5 WAR becomes
62.4 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 31.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burkett 115.2 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).
Jesse Burkett has a Hall Rating of 114,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
