Over the course of his career,
Clarence Lindsay
made 789 plate appearances
and pitched 20 innings.
Lindsay
was worth
0.4 Wins Above Replacement
(0.9 as a hitter and -0.6 as a pitcher)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(-1.5 as a hitter and -0.7 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.4 WAR becomes
2.0 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lindsay 2.7 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).
Clarence Lindsay has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
