Over the course of his career,
Whitey Kurowski
made 3,693 plate appearances.
Kurowski
was worth
24.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 11.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 24.6 WAR becomes
25.1 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 11.5 WAA becomes 12.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kurowski 47.6 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).
Whitey Kurowski has a Hall Rating of
45,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
