So far in his career,
Nelson Cruz
has
made 6,939 plate appearances.
Cruz
has been worth
37.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 13.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.7 WAR becomes
37.7 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 13.4 WAA becomes 17.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cruz 68.8 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).
Nelson Cruz has a Hall Rating of
64,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
