Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Frank Howard made 7,353 plate appearances. Howard was worth 37.5 Wins Above Replacement and 11.3 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.5 WAR becomes 37.6 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 11.3 WAA becomes 15.2 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Howard 65.0 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).

Frank Howard has a Hall Rating of 61, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
