Over the course of his career,
Willie Kirkland
made 3,882 plate appearances.
Kirkland
was worth
9.5 Wins Above Replacement
and -3.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.5 WAR becomes
9.7 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 -3.8 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kirkland 15.3 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 Kirkland has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
