Over the course of his career,
Bill Rariden
made 3,316 plate appearances.
Rariden
was worth
7.8 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.8 WAR becomes
9.5 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 -1.1 WAA becomes 6.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rariden 20.8 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 Rariden has a Hall Rating of
20,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
