Over the course of his career,
Richard Hidalgo
made 3,929 plate appearances.
Hidalgo
was worth
19.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 6.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 19.3 WAR becomes
19.3 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 6.9 WAA becomes 9.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hidalgo 36.6 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).
Richard Hidalgo has a Hall Rating of
34,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
