Over the course of his career,
Ron Santo
made 9,397 plate appearances.
Santo
was worth
70.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 36.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 70.5 WAR becomes
70.7 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 36.7 WAA becomes 43.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Santo 148.2 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).
Ron Santo has a Hall Rating of
139,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
