Over the course of his career,
Adam LaRoche
made 6,329 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
LaRoche
was worth
14.4 Wins Above Replacement
(14.2 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -5.2 Wins Above Average
(-5.3 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.4 WAR becomes
14.4 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 -5.2 WAA becomes 4.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives LaRoche 21.8 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).
Adam LaRoche has a Hall Rating of
20,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
