Over the course of his career,
Howard Johnson
made 5,715 plate appearances.
Johnson
was worth
22.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 3.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 22.4 WAR becomes
22.2 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 3.7 WAA becomes 11.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Johnson 42.2 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).
Howard Johnson has a Hall Rating of
40,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
