Over the course of his career,
Mike Schmidt
made 10,062 plate appearances.
Schmidt was worth 103.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 73.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 103.0 WAR becomes
104.7 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 73.8 WAA becomes 74.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Schmidt 231.1 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).
Mike Schmidt has a Hall Rating of 228,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
