Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Danny Murphy made 5,996 plate appearances. Murphy was worth 35.7 Wins Above Replacement and 12.6 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.7 WAR becomes 37.0 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 12.6 WAA becomes 14.6 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Murphy 63.3 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).

Danny Murphy has a Hall Rating of 59, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
