Over the course of his career,
Mike Vail
made 1,705 plate appearances.
Vail
was worth
2.0 Wins Above Replacement
and -3.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.0 WAR becomes
1.9 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 -3.6 WAA becomes 1.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Vail 4.6 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).
Mike Vail has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
