Over the course of his career,
Bernie Williams
made 9,053 plate appearances.
Williams was worth 45.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 18.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 45.9 WAR becomes
46.8 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 18.8 WAA becomes 27.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 93.2 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).
Bernie Williams has a Hall Rating of 92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
