Over the course of his career,
Claude Ritchey
made 6,858 plate appearances.
Ritchey
was worth
34.8 Wins Above Replacement
and 10.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.8 WAR becomes
36.2 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 10.9 WAA becomes 14.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ritchey 62.5 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).
Claude Ritchey has a Hall Rating of
59,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
