Over the course of his career,
Jim Rice
made 9,058 plate appearances.
Rice
was worth
47.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 18.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 47.7 WAR becomes
48.3 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 18.9 WAA becomes 23.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rice 89.6 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).
Jim Rice has a Hall Rating of
84,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
