Over the course of his career,
Jose Cruz
made 8,931 plate appearances.
Cruz
was worth
54.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 24.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.6 WAR becomes
55.3 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 24.5 WAA becomes 27.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cruz 104.3 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).
Jose Cruz has a Hall Rating of
98,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
