Over the course of his career,
Steve Sax
made 7,632 plate appearances.
Sax
was worth
25.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 0.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.8 WAR becomes
25.9 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 0.4 WAA becomes 8.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sax 40.5 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).
Steve Sax has a Hall Rating of
38,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
