Over the course of his career,
Mickey Cochrane
made 6,207 plate appearances.
Cochrane was worth 48.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 29.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.9 WAR becomes
60.0 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 29.5 WAA becomes 35.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cochrane 119.7 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).
Mickey Cochrane has a Hall Rating of 118,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
