Over the course of his career,
Shoeless Joe Jackson
made 5,697 plate appearances.
Jackson
was worth
62.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 40.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 62.3 WAR becomes
63.9 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 40.3 WAA becomes 41.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jackson 137.7 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).
Shoeless Joe Jackson has a Hall Rating of
129,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
