Over the course of his career,
Denny Lyons
made 5,029 plate appearances.
Lyons
was worth
35.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 21.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.6 WAR becomes
39.0 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 21.7 WAA becomes 23.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lyons 80.4 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).
Denny Lyons has a Hall Rating of
76,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
