Over the course of his career,
Ernie Burch
made 845 plate appearances.
Burch
was worth
0.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.4 WAR becomes
0.6 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 -1.6 WAA becomes 0.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burch 1.0 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).
Ernie Burch has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
