Over the course of his career,
Josh Hamilton
made 4,350 plate appearances.
Hamilton
was worth
28.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 13.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 28.3 WAR becomes
28.3 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 13.3 WAA becomes 15.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hamilton 55.5 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).
Josh Hamilton has a Hall Rating of
52,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
