Over the course of his career,
Nellie Fox
made 10,351 plate appearances.
Fox was worth 46.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 18.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 46.3 WAR becomes
47.4 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 18.5 WAA becomes 25.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Fox 89.8 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).
Nellie Fox has a Hall Rating of 89,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
