Hall of Stats

So far in his career, Will Smith has made 1,412 plate appearances. Smith has been worth 10.8 Wins Above Replacement and 6.2 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.8 WAR becomes 14.1 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 6.2 WAA becomes 7.2 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Smith 27.1 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).

Will Smith has a Hall Rating of 25, meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
