Over the course of his career,
Bill Russell
made 8,021 plate appearances.
Russell
was worth
31.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 5.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 31.5 WAR becomes
31.7 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 5.4 WAA becomes 10.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Russell 50.2 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 Russell has a Hall Rating of
47,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
