Over the course of his career,
Walt Dropo
made 4,522 plate appearances.
Dropo
was worth
3.6 Wins Above Replacement
and -10.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.6 WAR becomes
3.6 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 -10.9 WAA becomes 1.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dropo 5.4 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).
Walt Dropo has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
