Over the course of his career,
Barney Brown
made 869 plate appearances
and pitched 888 innings.
Brown
was worth
14.8 Wins Above Replacement
(1.9 as a hitter and 12.9 as a pitcher)
and 6.7 Wins Above Average
(0.6 as a hitter and 6.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.8 WAR becomes
19.1 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 6.7 WAA becomes 10.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brown 37.5 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).
Barney Brown has a Hall Rating of
35,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
