Over the course of his career,
Will Clark
made 8,283 plate appearances.
Clark was worth 53.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 29.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 53.2 WAR becomes
54.0 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 29.1 WAA becomes 29.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clark 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).
Will Clark has a Hall Rating of 102,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
