Over the course of his career,
Bill Dickey
made 7,065 plate appearances.
Dickey
was worth
56.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 31.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 56.5 WAR becomes
69.0 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 31.7 WAA becomes 38.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dickey 137.6 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).
Bill Dickey has a Hall Rating of
129,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
