Over the course of his career,
Ken Griffey
made 11,304 plate appearances.
Griffey was worth 79.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 46.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 79.2 WAR becomes
80.7 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 46.8 WAA becomes 55.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Griffey 173.6 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).
Ken Griffey has a Hall Rating of 171,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
