Over the course of his career,
Birdie Tebbetts
made 4,152 plate appearances.
Tebbetts
was worth
3.8 Wins Above Replacement
and -9.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.8 WAR becomes
4.6 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 -9.0 WAA becomes 0.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Tebbetts 5.7 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).
Birdie Tebbetts has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
