Over the course of his career,
Ernie Banks
made 10,396 plate appearances.
Banks
was worth
68.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 28.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 68.0 WAR becomes
68.9 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 28.6 WAA becomes 37.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Banks 136.6 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).
Ernie Banks has a Hall Rating of
128,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
