Over the course of his career,
Charlie Gehringer
made 10,244 plate appearances.
Gehringer was worth 76.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 45.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 76.6 WAR becomes
78.6 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 45.4 WAA becomes 47.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gehringer 159.6 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).
Charlie Gehringer has a Hall Rating of 158,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
