Over the course of his career,
Harold Baines
made 11,092 plate appearances.
Baines
was worth
38.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 1.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.7 WAR becomes
39.5 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 1.8 WAA becomes 11.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Baines 60.9 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).
Harold Baines has a Hall Rating of
57,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
