Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Red Kress made 5,672 plate appearances and pitched 9 innings. Kress was worth 14.0 Wins Above Replacement (14.7 as a hitter and -0.7 as a pitcher) and -6.3 Wins Above Average (-5.8 as a hitter and -0.7 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.0 WAR becomes 14.3 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 -6.3 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Kress 19.9 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).

Red Kress has a Hall Rating of 19, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
