Over the course of his career,
Alex Gordon
made 7,250 plate appearances
and pitched 2 innings.
Gordon
was worth
34.4 Wins Above Replacement
(34.5 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher)
and 9.4 Wins Above Average
(9.6 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.4 WAR becomes
34.4 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 9.4 WAA becomes 16.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gordon 64.1 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).
Alex Gordon has a Hall Rating of
60,
meaning he will not be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
