Over the course of his career,
Don Hoak
made 4,946 plate appearances.
Hoak
was worth
21.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 2.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.3 WAR becomes
21.7 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 2.1 WAA becomes 7.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hoak 35.6 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).
Don Hoak has a Hall Rating of
33,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
