Over the course of his career,
Bill Lange
made 3,620 plate appearances.
Lange
was worth
23.2 Wins Above Replacement
and 10.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.2 WAR becomes
24.9 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 10.8 WAA becomes 11.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lange 46.1 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).
Bill Lange has a Hall Rating of
43,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
