Over the course of his career,
Mike Sweeney
made 5,848 plate appearances.
Sweeney
was worth
24.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 4.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 24.9 WAR becomes
25.1 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 4.2 WAA becomes 8.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sweeney 39.9 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).
Mike Sweeney has a Hall Rating of
37,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
