Over the course of his career,
Home Run Baker
made 6,676 plate appearances.
Baker
was worth
62.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 36.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 62.8 WAR becomes
65.1 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 36.9 WAA becomes 36.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Baker 131.5 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).
Home Run Baker has a Hall Rating of
123,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
