So far in his career,
Nelson Cruz
has
made 7,153 plate appearances.
Cruz
has been worth
39.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 14.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 39.7 WAR becomes
41.2 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 14.6 WAA becomes 18.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cruz 74.5 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
69,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
