Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Charlie Root pitched 3,197 innings and made 1,192 plate appearances. Root was worth 37.8 Wins Above Replacement (37.5 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter) and 11.4 Wins Above Average (11.4 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.8 WAR becomes 40.1 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 11.4 WAA becomes 16.6 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Root 70.0 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).

Charlie Root has a Hall Rating of 66, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
