Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Ron Cey made 8,344 plate appearances. Cey was worth 53.8 Wins Above Replacement and 26.1 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 53.8 WAR becomes 54.6 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 26.1 WAA becomes 28.7 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Cey 106.3 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).

Ron Cey has a Hall Rating of 99.9, making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
