Over the course of his career,
Joe Medwick
made 8,143 plate appearances.
Medwick was worth 52.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 28.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.4 WAR becomes
53.8 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 28.1 WAA becomes 30.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Medwick 104.8 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).
Joe Medwick has a Hall Rating of 103,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
