Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Dave Stewart pitched 2,629 innings and made 60 plate appearances. Stewart was worth 26.7 Wins Above Replacement (26.1 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter) and 2.5 Wins Above Average (2.3 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.7 WAR becomes 27.9 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 2.5 WAA becomes 10.9 adjWAA.

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

Dave Stewart has a Hall Rating of 45, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
