Over the course of his career,
Honus Wagner
made 11,748 plate appearances
and pitched 8 innings.
Wagner was worth 126.1 Wins Above Replacement
(126.2 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher)
and 91.6 Wins Above Average
(91.7 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 126.1 WAR becomes
130.8 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 91.6 WAA becomes 92.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wagner 287.3 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).
Honus Wagner has a Hall Rating of 283,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
