Over the course of his career,
Willie Horton
made 8,052 plate appearances.
Horton
was worth
26.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.4 WAR becomes
26.3 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 -1.1 WAA becomes 9.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Horton 43.6 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).
Willie Horton has a Hall Rating of
41,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
