Over the course of his career,
Hardy Richardson
made 6,044 plate appearances
and pitched 16 innings.
Richardson
was worth
41.0 Wins Above Replacement
(40.9 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and 21.4 Wins Above Average
(21.3 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 41.0 WAR becomes
50.4 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 21.4 WAA becomes 22.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Richardson 90.9 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).
Hardy Richardson has a Hall Rating of
85,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
