Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Clay Carroll pitched 1,353 innings and made 245 plate appearances. Carroll was worth 17.8 Wins Above Replacement (18.3 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter) and 5.2 Wins Above Average (5.7 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 17.8 WAR becomes 21.3 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 5.2 WAA becomes 13.2 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Carroll 45.1 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).

Clay Carroll has a Hall Rating of 42, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
