Over the course of his career,
Justin Smoak
made 4,750 plate appearances.
Smoak
was worth
7.0 Wins Above Replacement
and -9.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.0 WAR becomes
6.3 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 -9.8 WAA becomes 1.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smoak 8.6 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).
Justin Smoak has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
