Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Gavvy Cravath made 4,663 plate appearances. Cravath was worth 33.1 Wins Above Replacement and 17.8 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.1 WAR becomes 34.2 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 17.8 WAA becomes 18.7 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Cravath 67.9 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).

Gavvy Cravath has a Hall Rating of 64, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
