Over the course of his career,
Sam Crawford
made 10,594 plate appearances.
Crawford was worth 69.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 34.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 69.9 WAR becomes
72.5 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 34.7 WAA becomes 36.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Crawford 133.4 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 132,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
