Over the course of his career,
Phil Rizzuto
made 6,718 plate appearances.
Rizzuto was worth 38.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 20.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.1 WAR becomes
39.1 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 20.7 WAA becomes 22.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rizzuto 76.6 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).
Phil Rizzuto has a Hall Rating of 76,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
