Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Willie Randolph made 9,462 plate appearances. Randolph was worth 65.7 Wins Above Replacement and 36.2 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 65.7 WAR becomes 66.5 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 36.2 WAA becomes 36.9 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Randolph 132.9 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 Randolph has a Hall Rating of 125, making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
