Over the course of his career,
Earle Combs
made 6,513 plate appearances.
Combs was worth 40.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 19.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 40.0 WAR becomes
41.0 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 19.6 WAA becomes 20.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Combs 74.9 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).
Earle Combs has a Hall Rating of 74,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
