Over the course of his career,
Earl Torgeson
made 6,046 plate appearances.
Torgeson
was worth
33.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 11.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.3 WAR becomes
33.8 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 11.3 WAA becomes 14.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Torgeson 59.2 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).
Earl Torgeson has a Hall Rating of
56,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
