Over the course of his career,
Ken Griffey
made 8,049 plate appearances.
Griffey
was worth
34.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.6 WAR becomes
35.2 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 8.4 WAA becomes 13.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Griffey 60.2 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).
Ken Griffey has a Hall Rating of
57,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
