Over the course of his career,
Halley Harding
made 1,698 plate appearances.
Harding
was worth
8.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 2.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.0 WAR becomes
11.7 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 2.6 WAA becomes 4.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Harding 18.9 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).
Halley Harding has a Hall Rating of
18,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
