Over the course of his career,
Hank Greenberg
made 6,098 plate appearances.
Greenberg
was worth
55.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 34.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 55.5 WAR becomes
57.0 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 34.5 WAA becomes 34.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Greenberg 119.2 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).
Hank Greenberg has a Hall Rating of
112,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
