Over the course of his career,
Harry Heilmann
made 8,960 plate appearances.
Heilmann was worth 67.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 38.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.3 WAR becomes
69.4 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 38.7 WAA becomes 40.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Heilmann 137.5 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).
Harry Heilmann has a Hall Rating of 136,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
