Over the course of his career,
Barry Larkin
made 9,057 plate appearances.
Larkin was worth 67.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 42.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.1 WAR becomes
68.2 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 42.5 WAA becomes 45.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Larkin 145.2 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).
Barry Larkin has a Hall Rating of 143,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
