Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Leo Cardenas made 7,402 plate appearances. Cardenas was worth 27.2 Wins Above Replacement and -0.5 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.2 WAR becomes 27.2 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 -0.5 WAA becomes 8.7 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Cardenas 42.9 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).

Leo Cardenas has a Hall Rating of 40, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
