Over the course of his career,
Larry Walker
made 8,030 plate appearances.
Walker was worth 69.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 48.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 69.7 WAR becomes
70.8 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 48.3 WAA becomes 48.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walker 153.0 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).
Larry Walker has a Hall Rating of 151,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
