Over the course of his career,
Joe Sullivan
made 1,845 plate appearances.
Sullivan
was worth
1.8 Wins Above Replacement
and -4.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.8 WAR becomes
2.0 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 0.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sullivan 2.5 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).
Joe Sullivan has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
