Over the course of his career,
Sam Thompson
made 6,525 plate appearances.
Thompson was worth 42.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 22.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 42.1 WAR becomes
46.9 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 22.1 WAA becomes 22.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thompson 85.4 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).
Sam Thompson has a Hall Rating of 84,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
