Over the course of his career,
Pinky May
made 2,548 plate appearances.
May
was worth
11.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 2.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.3 WAR becomes
11.7 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 2.3 WAA becomes 3.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives May 17.1 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).
Pinky May has a Hall Rating of
16,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
