Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Charlie Gelbert made 3,217 plate appearances and pitched 4 innings. Gelbert was worth 9.3 Wins Above Replacement (9.4 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher) and -1.3 Wins Above Average (-1.2 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.3 WAR becomes 9.5 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Gelbert 16.5 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).

Charlie Gelbert has a Hall Rating of 16, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
