Over the course of his career,
Wally Schang
made 6,437 plate appearances.
Schang
was worth
47.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 22.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 47.9 WAR becomes
57.2 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 22.9 WAA becomes 29.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Schang 110.6 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).
Wally Schang has a Hall Rating of
104,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
