Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Duffy Lewis made 6,016 plate appearances and pitched 1 innings. Lewis was worth 21.1 Wins Above Replacement (21.3 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher) and -2.4 Wins Above Average (-2.2 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.1 WAR becomes 21.5 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 4.4 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Lewis 29.4 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).

Duffy Lewis has a Hall Rating of 28, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
