Over the course of his career,
Ed Kennedy
made 1,157 plate appearances.
Kennedy
was worth
-2.8 Wins Above Replacement
and -5.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.8 WAR becomes
-3.5 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 -5.6 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kennedy -3.5 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).
Ed Kennedy has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
