Over the course of his career,
Willie Keeler
made 9,613 plate appearances.
Keeler
was worth
54.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 21.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.3 WAR becomes
58.3 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 21.0 WAA becomes 26.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Keeler 105.5 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).
Willie Keeler has a Hall Rating of
98,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
