Over the course of his career,
Fred Kendall
made 2,823 plate appearances.
Kendall
was worth
1.0 Wins Above Replacement
and -8.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.0 WAR becomes
1.3 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 -8.0 WAA becomes 1.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kendall 3.8 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).
Fred Kendall has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
