So far in his career,
Ian Desmond
has
made 5,462 plate appearances.
Desmond
has been worth
16.5 Wins Above Replacement
and -0.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 16.5 WAR becomes
16.5 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 5.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Desmond 26.2 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).
Ian Desmond has a Hall Rating of
25,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
