Over the course of his career,
Ichiro Suzuki
made 10,734 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Suzuki
was worth
60.0 Wins Above Replacement
(60.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and 24.4 Wins Above Average
(24.5 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 60.0 WAR becomes
60.0 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 24.4 WAA becomes 31.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Suzuki 116.3 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).
Ichiro Suzuki has a Hall Rating of
109,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible—but very close to the borderline.
