Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Roy Face pitched 1,375 innings and made 215 plate appearances. Face was worth 20.7 Wins Above Replacement (21.0 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter) and 4.9 Wins Above Average (5.4 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.7 WAR becomes 24.9 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 4.9 WAA becomes 11.3 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Face 45.2 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).

Roy Face has a Hall Rating of 43, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
