So far in his career,
Jim Thome
has
made 10,313 plate appearances.
Thome was worth 67.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 37.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.8 WAR becomes
68.5 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 37.5 WAA becomes 39.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thome 135.8 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).
Jim Thome has a Hall Rating of 134,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
