Over the course of his career,
Reggie Jackson
made 11,418 plate appearances.
Jackson was worth 68.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 35.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 68.4 WAR becomes
68.7 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 35.4 WAA becomes 44.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jackson 144.0 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).
Reggie Jackson has a Hall Rating of 142,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
