Over the course of his career,
Larry Doby
made 6,299 plate appearances.
Doby
was worth
49.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 30.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 49.3 WAR becomes
50.5 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 30.3 WAA becomes 32.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Doby 108.2 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).
Larry Doby has a Hall Rating of
100,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
