Over the course of his career,
Roberto Clemente
made 10,211 plate appearances.
Clemente was worth 89.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 56.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 89.8 WAR becomes
90.4 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 56.8 WAA becomes 59.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clemente 191.0 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).
Roberto Clemente has a Hall Rating of 188,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
