Over the course of his career,
Jim Edmonds
made 7,980 plate appearances.
Edmonds was worth 57.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 35.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 57.3 WAR becomes
57.8 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 35.1 WAA becomes 38.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Edmonds 122.2 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).
Jim Edmonds has a Hall Rating of 121,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
