Over the course of his career,
Dave May
made 4,087 plate appearances.
May
was worth
13.6 Wins Above Replacement
and -0.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.6 WAR becomes
13.6 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 5.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives May 23.1 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).
Dave May has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
