Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Bud Harrelson made 5,516 plate appearances. Harrelson was worth 20.2 Wins Above Replacement and 1.9 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.2 WAR becomes 20.2 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 1.9 WAA becomes 6.4 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Harrelson 31.7 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).

Bud Harrelson has a Hall Rating of 30, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
