Over the course of his career,
Ellis Burks
made 8,177 plate appearances.
Burks
was worth
49.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 23.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 49.7 WAR becomes
50.0 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 23.5 WAA becomes 25.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burks 95.9 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).
Ellis Burks has a Hall Rating of
90,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
