Over the course of his career,
Hank Thompson
made 4,217 plate appearances.
Thompson
was worth
30.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 15.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 30.6 WAR becomes
36.8 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 15.0 WAA becomes 15.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thompson 64.9 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).
Hank Thompson has a Hall Rating of
61,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
