Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Willie Grace made 368 plate appearances and pitched 4 innings. Grace was worth 0.3 Wins Above Replacement (0.4 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher) and -0.7 Wins Above Average (-0.6 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.3 WAR becomes 2.6 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Grace 3.3 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).

Willie Grace has a Hall Rating of 3, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
