Over the course of his career,
Milt Thompson
made 4,155 plate appearances.
Thompson
was worth
18.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 5.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 18.4 WAR becomes
18.4 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 5.2 WAA becomes 9.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thompson 34.8 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).
Milt Thompson has a Hall Rating of
33,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
