So far in his career,
Josh Donaldson
has
made 4,476 plate appearances.
Donaldson
has been worth
44.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 29.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 44.5 WAR becomes
44.5 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 29.6 WAA becomes 30.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Donaldson 98.6 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).
Josh Donaldson has a Hall Rating of
92,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today—but he would be close.
