Over the course of his career,
Lave Cross
made 9,741 plate appearances.
Cross
was worth
47.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 14.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 47.4 WAR becomes
51.2 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 14.0 WAA becomes 17.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cross 82.8 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).
Lave Cross has a Hall Rating of
78,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
