Over the course of his career,
Hack Wilson
made 5,556 plate appearances.
Wilson was worth 37.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 21.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.3 WAR becomes
38.3 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 21.4 WAA becomes 23.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wilson 77.5 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).
Hack Wilson has a Hall Rating of 76,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
