Over the course of his career,
Eddie Collins
made 12,081 plate appearances.
Collins
was worth
123.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 78.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 123.9 WAR becomes
127.7 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 78.8 WAA becomes 79.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Collins 269.9 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).
Eddie Collins has a Hall Rating of
250,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
