Over the course of his career,
Cookie Lavagetto
made 4,040 plate appearances.
Lavagetto
was worth
12.7 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.7 WAR becomes
13.2 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 -1.5 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lavagetto 18.8 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).
Cookie Lavagetto has a Hall Rating of
18,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
