Over the course of his career,
Jim Piersall
made 6,593 plate appearances.
Piersall
was worth
29.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 9.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.3 WAR becomes
30.0 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 9.1 WAA becomes 15.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Piersall 58.1 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).
Jim Piersall has a Hall Rating of
55,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
