Over the course of his career,
Paul Molitor
made 12,167 plate appearances.
Molitor was worth 72.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 37.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 72.5 WAR becomes
73.4 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 37.7 WAA becomes 41.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Molitor 142.9 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).
Paul Molitor has a Hall Rating of 141,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
