Over the course of his career,
Earle Combs
made 6,514 plate appearances.
Combs
was worth
44.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 21.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 44.8 WAR becomes
45.9 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 21.3 WAA becomes 21.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Combs 85.2 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).
Earle Combs has a Hall Rating of
80,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
