Over the course of his career,
Reggie Smith
made 8,051 plate appearances.
Smith was worth 64.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 37.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 64.4 WAR becomes
64.4 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 37.3 WAA becomes 38.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 132.8 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).
Reggie Smith has a Hall Rating of
125,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
