Over the course of his career,
Sam Crawford
made 10,612 plate appearances.
Crawford
was worth
75.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 34.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 75.3 WAR becomes
78.1 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 34.9 WAA becomes 36.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Crawford 143.4 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).
Sam Crawford has a Hall Rating of
135,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
