Over the course of his career,
Heavy Johnson
made 1,981 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
Johnson
was worth
18.4 Wins Above Replacement
(18.1 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher)
and 12.0 Wins Above Average
(11.7 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 18.4 WAR becomes
26.5 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 12.0 WAA becomes 12.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Johnson 49.2 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).
Heavy Johnson has a Hall Rating of
46,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
