Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Kid Elberfeld made 5,296 plate appearances. Elberfeld was worth 33.5 Wins Above Replacement and 13.0 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.5 WAR becomes 35.2 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 13.0 WAA becomes 13.6 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Elberfeld 59.7 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).

Kid Elberfeld has a Hall Rating of 56, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
