Over the course of his career,
Joe Medwick
made 8,143 plate appearances.
Medwick
was worth
54.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 26.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.3 WAR becomes
55.7 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 26.9 WAA becomes 29.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Medwick 108.7 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).
Joe Medwick has a Hall Rating of
101,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
