Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Willie McGee made 8,188 plate appearances. McGee was worth 34.2 Wins Above Replacement and 7.5 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.2 WAR becomes 34.4 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 7.5 WAA becomes 15.3 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives McGee 61.9 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).

Willie McGee has a Hall Rating of 58, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
