Over the course of his career,
Chester Williams
made 2,269 plate appearances.
Williams
was worth
8.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 1.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.0 WAR becomes
18.0 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 1.0 WAA becomes 4.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 26.1 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).
Chester Williams has a Hall Rating of
25,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
