Over the course of his career,
Orator Shafer
made 3,784 plate appearances.
Shafer
was worth
19.6 Wins Above Replacement
and 8.0 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 19.6 WAR becomes
28.1 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 8.0 WAA becomes 10.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Shafer 47.5 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).
Orator Shafer has a Hall Rating of
45,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
