Over the course of his career,
Harry Lyons
made 1,815 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
Lyons
was worth
-2.6 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.3 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and -7.6 Wins Above Average
(-7.2 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.6 WAR becomes
-2.7 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 -7.6 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lyons -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).
Harry Lyons has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
