made 9,736 plate appearances.
Ashburn
was worth
64.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 29.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 64.3 WAR becomes
65.9 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 29.0 WAA becomes 34.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ashburn 127.7 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).
