Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Charley Jones made 4,012 plate appearances and pitched 3 innings. Jones was worth 26.5 Wins Above Replacement (26.4 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher) and 15.5 Wins Above Average (15.4 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.5 WAR becomes 38.4 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 15.5 WAA becomes 16.7 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Jones 68.5 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).

Charley Jones has a Hall Rating of 64, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
