Over the course of his career,
Mark Kotsay
made 7,110 plate appearances.
Kotsay
was worth
21.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.4 WAR becomes
21.4 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 9.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kotsay 39.0 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).
Mark Kotsay has a Hall Rating of
37,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
