Over the course of his career,
Farmer Vaughn
made 3,645 plate appearances
and pitched 7 innings.
Vaughn
was worth
2.9 Wins Above Replacement
(2.9 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher)
and -8.7 Wins Above Average
(-8.5 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.9 WAR becomes
4.0 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 -8.7 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Vaughn 4.7 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).
Farmer Vaughn has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
