Over the course of his career,
Kirby Puckett
made 7,831 plate appearances.
Puckett was worth 48.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 25.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.2 WAR becomes
49.0 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 25.7 WAA becomes 26.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Puckett 94.2 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).
Kirby Puckett has a Hall Rating of 93,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
