Over the course of his career,
Bill Terry
made 7,108 plate appearances.
Terry
was worth
54.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 31.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.2 WAR becomes
55.7 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 31.7 WAA becomes 32.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Terry 113.2 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).
Bill Terry has a Hall Rating of
106,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
