Over the course of his career,
Bill Phillips
made 4,458 plate appearances.
Phillips
was worth
12.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -0.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.4 WAR becomes
16.6 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 4.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Phillips 24.0 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).
Bill Phillips has a Hall Rating of
23,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
