Over the course of his career,
Chase Utley
made 7,863 plate appearances.
Utley
was worth
64.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 41.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 64.5 WAR becomes
64.5 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 41.0 WAA becomes 43.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Utley 143.2 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).
Chase Utley has a Hall Rating of
135,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
