Over the course of his career,
Bobby Doerr
made 8,028 plate appearances.
Doerr was worth 47.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 27.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 47.4 WAR becomes
48.6 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 27.0 WAA becomes 28.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Doerr 97.5 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).
Bobby Doerr has a Hall Rating of 96,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
