Wells
was worth
51.1 Wins Above Replacement
(51.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and 37.2 Wins Above Average
(37.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 51.1 WAR becomes
89.9 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 37.2 WAA becomes 37.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wells 157.4 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).
Willie Wells has a Hall Rating of
148,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
