Over the course of his career,
Barry Bonds
made 12,606 plate appearances.
Bonds
was worth
162.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 123.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 162.7 WAR becomes
164.4 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 123.8 WAA becomes 123.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bonds 387.2 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).
Barry Bonds has a Hall Rating of
363,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
