Over the course of his career,
Jeff Kent
made 9,537 plate appearances.
Kent was worth 51.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 26.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 51.9 WAR becomes
52.6 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 26.5 WAA becomes 29.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kent 102.9 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).
Jeff Kent has a Hall Rating of 102,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible—but very close to the borderline.
