Over the course of his career,
Ed Lafitte
pitched 646 innings
and made 259 plate appearances.
Lafitte
was worth
2.5 Wins Above Replacement
(1.8 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter)
and -1.2 Wins Above Average
(-1.8 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.5 WAR becomes
2.4 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 -1.2 WAA becomes 3.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lafitte 8.2 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).
Ed Lafitte has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
