So far in his career,
Ichiro Suzuki
has
made 8,723 plate appearances.
Suzuki was worth 54.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 28.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.6 WAR becomes
54.6 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 28.4 WAA becomes 30.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Suzuki 106.8 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).
Ichiro Suzuki has a Hall Rating of 105,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today—but very close to the borderline.
