Over the course of his career,
Ted Simmons
made 9,685 plate appearances.
Simmons
was worth
50.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 18.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.3 WAR becomes
59.8 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 18.9 WAA becomes 33.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Simmons 120.5 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).
Ted Simmons has a Hall Rating of
113,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
