Over the course of his career,
John Donaldson
made 914 plate appearances
and pitched 137 innings.
Donaldson
was worth
3.4 Wins Above Replacement
(2.7 as a hitter and 0.7 as a pitcher)
and -0.4 Wins Above Average
(0.0 as a hitter and -0.5 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.4 WAR becomes
4.6 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 -0.4 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Donaldson 5.5 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).
John Donaldson has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
