Over the course of his career,
Sandy Thompson
made 2,616 plate appearances.
Thompson
was worth
6.9 Wins Above Replacement
and -2.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.9 WAR becomes
13.4 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 -2.0 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thompson 16.5 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).
Sandy Thompson has a Hall Rating of
15,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
