Over the course of his career,
Oyster Burns
made 5,160 plate appearances
and pitched 138 innings.
Burns
was worth
25.9 Wins Above Replacement
(26.1 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and 10.1 Wins Above Average
(11.2 as a hitter and -0.9 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.9 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 10.1 WAA becomes 13.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burns 52.0 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).
Oyster Burns has a Hall Rating of
49,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
