Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Red Rolfe made 5,407 plate appearances. Rolfe was worth 29.1 Wins Above Replacement and 11.6 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.1 WAR becomes 29.8 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 11.6 WAA becomes 12.1 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Rolfe 51.6 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).

Red Rolfe has a Hall Rating of 48, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
