Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Jimmy Austin made 6,318 plate appearances. Austin was worth 23.0 Wins Above Replacement and -2.1 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.0 WAR becomes 23.5 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 -2.1 WAA becomes 3.5 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Austin 29.8 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).

Jimmy Austin has a Hall Rating of 28, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
