Over the course of his career,
Willie Keeler
made 9,610 plate appearances.
Keeler was worth 50.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 20.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.7 WAR becomes
54.5 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 20.5 WAA becomes 26.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Keeler 98.7 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).
Willie Keeler has a Hall Rating of 97,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
