Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Pepper Martin made 4,525 plate appearances and pitched 4 innings. Martin was worth 22.2 Wins Above Replacement (21.9 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher) and 6.9 Wins Above Average (6.8 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 22.2 WAR becomes 22.6 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 6.9 WAA becomes 8.6 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Martin 38.1 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).

Pepper Martin has a Hall Rating of 36, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
