Over the course of his career,
Ed McFarland
made 3,379 plate appearances.
McFarland
was worth
20.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.7 WAR becomes
25.9 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 8.4 WAA becomes 11.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McFarland 46.6 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).
Ed McFarland has a Hall Rating of
44,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
