So far in his career,
Josh Donaldson
has
made 3,817 plate appearances.
Donaldson
has been worth
38.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 25.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.5 WAR becomes
38.5 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 25.7 WAA becomes 26.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Donaldson 85.5 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).
Josh Donaldson has a Hall Rating of
80,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
