Over the course of his career,
Max Carey
made 10,768 plate appearances.
Carey
was worth
55.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 21.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 55.3 WAR becomes
57.2 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 21.8 WAA becomes 25.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Carey 103.5 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).
Max Carey has a Hall Rating of
97,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
