Over the course of his career,
Willard Brown
made 1,765 plate appearances.
Brown
was worth
18.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 12.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 18.1 WAR becomes
40.7 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 12.9 WAA becomes 13.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brown 65.7 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).
Willard Brown has a Hall Rating of
62,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
