Over the course of his career,
Buddy Lewis
made 5,940 plate appearances.
Lewis
was worth
29.1 Wins Above Replacement
and 10.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.1 WAR becomes
29.7 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 10.2 WAA becomes 12.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lewis 52.4 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).
Buddy Lewis has a Hall Rating of
49,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
