Over the course of his career,
Joe Hornung
made 4,918 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
Hornung
was worth
8.0 Wins Above Replacement
(7.9 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -8.7 Wins Above Average
(-8.6 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.0 WAR becomes
11.3 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 -8.7 WAA becomes 1.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hornung 14.5 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).
Joe Hornung has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
