Over the course of his career,
Aaron Ward
made 4,146 plate appearances.
Ward
was worth
13.7 Wins Above Replacement
and -2.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.7 WAR becomes
14.2 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 -2.0 WAA becomes 3.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ward 20.0 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).
Aaron Ward has a Hall Rating of
19,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
