Over the course of his career,
Billy Williams
made 10,519 plate appearances.
Williams
was worth
63.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 27.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 63.9 WAR becomes
64.0 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 27.2 WAA becomes 30.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 118.5 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).
Billy Williams has a Hall Rating of
112,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
