Over the course of his career,
Lemuel Hawkins
made 2,245 plate appearances
and pitched 5 innings.
Hawkins
was worth
0.8 Wins Above Replacement
(0.7 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher)
and -6.4 Wins Above Average
(-6.5 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.8 WAR becomes
1.7 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 -6.4 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hawkins 1.7 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).
Lemuel Hawkins has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
