Over the course of his career,
Ralph Kiner
made 6,256 plate appearances.
Kiner
was worth
49.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 25.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 49.4 WAR becomes
50.6 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 25.7 WAA becomes 27.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kiner 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).
Ralph Kiner has a Hall Rating of
92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
