Over the course of his career,
Mickey Mantle
made 9,910 plate appearances.
Mantle
was worth
110.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 79.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 110.4 WAR becomes
112.1 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 79.4 WAA becomes 79.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mantle 255.0 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).
Mickey Mantle has a Hall Rating of
240,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
