Over the course of his career,
Lou Brock
made 11,240 plate appearances.
Brock
was worth
45.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 45.3 WAR becomes
45.3 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 8.3 WAA becomes 17.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brock 76.3 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).
Lou Brock has a Hall Rating of
72,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
