Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Bobby Lowe made 7,773 plate appearances and pitched 1 innings. Lowe was worth 20.4 Wins Above Replacement (20.3 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher) and -6.9 Wins Above Average (-6.9 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.4 WAR becomes 22.0 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 -6.9 WAA becomes 4.5 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Lowe 30.1 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).

Bobby Lowe has a Hall Rating of 28, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
