Over the course of his career,
Ryne Sandberg
made 9,282 plate appearances.
Sandberg
was worth
67.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 38.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.9 WAR becomes
68.1 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 38.4 WAA becomes 39.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sandberg 138.7 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).
Ryne Sandberg has a Hall Rating of
130,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
