Over the course of his career,
Roberto Clemente
made 10,212 plate appearances.
Clemente
was worth
95.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 57.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 95.0 WAR becomes
95.5 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 57.2 WAA becomes 59.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clemente 203.3 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).
Roberto Clemente has a Hall Rating of
191,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
