Over the course of his career,
Don Kessinger
made 8,530 plate appearances.
Kessinger
was worth
8.9 Wins Above Replacement
and -19.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.9 WAR becomes
9.0 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 -19.1 WAA becomes 2.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kessinger 13.7 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 Kessinger has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
