Over the course of his career,
Spike Owen
made 5,616 plate appearances.
Owen
was worth
12.6 Wins Above Replacement
and -5.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.6 WAR becomes
13.0 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 -5.5 WAA becomes 4.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Owen 20.2 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).
Spike Owen has a Hall Rating of
19,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
