Over the course of his career,
Gene Baker
made 2,691 plate appearances.
Baker
was worth
7.6 Wins Above Replacement
and -2.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.6 WAR becomes
8.4 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 -2.2 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Baker 9.3 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).
Gene Baker has a Hall Rating of
9,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
