Over the course of his career,
Fred Clarke
made 9,837 plate appearances.
Clarke
was worth
67.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 35.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.9 WAR becomes
71.5 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 35.2 WAA becomes 36.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clarke 137.0 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).
Fred Clarke has a Hall Rating of
128,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
