Over the course of his career,
Jackie Robinson
made 5,941 plate appearances.
Robinson
was worth
63.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 41.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 63.9 WAR becomes
68.0 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 41.4 WAA becomes 41.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Robinson 142.5 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).
Jackie Robinson has a Hall Rating of
134,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
