Over the course of his career,
Elmer Flick
made 6,414 plate appearances.
Flick was worth 50.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 29.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.2 WAR becomes
52.5 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 30.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Flick 103.9 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).
Elmer Flick has a Hall Rating of 103,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
