Over the course of his career,
Ozzie Smith
made 10,778 plate appearances.
Smith was worth 73.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 42.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 73.0 WAR becomes
73.5 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 42.0 WAA becomes 44.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 148.4 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).
Ozzie Smith has a Hall Rating of 146,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
