Over the course of his career,
Zack Wheat
made 9,996 plate appearances.
Wheat was worth 56.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 28.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 56.9 WAR becomes
58.8 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 28.5 WAA becomes 29.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wheat 108.9 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).
Zack Wheat has a Hall Rating of 107,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
