So far in his career,
Buster Posey
has
made 5,153 plate appearances.
Posey
has been worth
42.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 26.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 42.2 WAR becomes
48.7 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 26.0 WAA becomes 30.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Posey 103.9 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).
Buster Posey has a Hall Rating of
97,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today—but he would be close.
