Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Eddie Lopat pitched 2,439 innings and made 999 plate appearances. Lopat was worth 32.3 Wins Above Replacement (28.2 as a pitcher and 3.9 as a hitter) and 13.7 Wins Above Average (9.8 as a pitcher and 3.9 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 32.3 WAR becomes 32.6 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 13.7 WAA becomes 13.2 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Lopat 56.4 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).

Eddie Lopat has a Hall Rating of 53, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
