Over the course of his career,
Yogi Berra
made 8,359 plate appearances.
Berra
was worth
59.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 34.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.5 WAR becomes
71.7 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 34.1 WAA becomes 40.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Berra 145.2 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).
Yogi Berra has a Hall Rating of
135,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
