Over the course of his career,
Vada Pinson
made 10,403 plate appearances.
Pinson
was worth
54.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 16.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.1 WAR becomes
54.7 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 16.4 WAA becomes 24.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Pinson 97.9 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).
Vada Pinson has a Hall Rating of
92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
