Over the course of his career,
Joe Start
made 4,907 plate appearances.
Start
was worth
32.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 15.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 32.5 WAR becomes
51.3 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 15.6 WAA becomes 16.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Start 81.7 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).
Joe Start has a Hall Rating of
77,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
