Over the course of his career,
Sam West
made 6,974 plate appearances.
West
was worth
32.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 7.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 32.8 WAR becomes
33.4 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 7.5 WAA becomes 11.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives West 54.6 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).
Sam West has a Hall Rating of
51,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
