Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Joe Adcock made 7,305 plate appearances. Adcock was worth 33.3 Wins Above Replacement and 6.5 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.3 WAR becomes 34.0 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 6.5 WAA becomes 12.2 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Adcock 56.0 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 Adcock has a Hall Rating of 53, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
