Over the course of his career,
Paul Blair
made 6,673 plate appearances.
Blair
was worth
37.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 14.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.9 WAR becomes
38.0 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 14.7 WAA becomes 22.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blair 78.7 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).
Paul Blair has a Hall Rating of
74,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
