Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Hank Bauer made 5,778 plate appearances. Bauer was worth 27.1 Wins Above Replacement and 9.5 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.1 WAR becomes 28.1 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 9.5 WAA becomes 15.4 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Bauer 55.8 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).

Hank Bauer has a Hall Rating of 52, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
