Over the course of his career,
Alfonso Soriano
made 8,395 plate appearances.
Soriano
was worth
28.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 2.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 28.7 WAR becomes
28.7 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 2.2 WAA becomes 14.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Soriano 54.1 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).
Alfonso Soriano has a Hall Rating of
51,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
