Over the course of his career,
Steve Garvey
made 9,466 plate appearances.
Garvey
was worth
38.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 7.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.1 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 7.0 WAA becomes 15.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Garvey 65.5 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).
Steve Garvey has a Hall Rating of
61,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
