Over the course of his career,
Jay Johnstone
made 5,229 plate appearances.
Johnstone
was worth
16.9 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 16.9 WAR becomes
16.9 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 5.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Johnstone 27.5 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).
Jay Johnstone has a Hall Rating of
26,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
