Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Joe Rudi made 6,077 plate appearances. Rudi was worth 25.3 Wins Above Replacement and 4.7 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.3 WAR becomes 25.3 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 4.7 WAA becomes 11.9 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Rudi 46.7 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).

Joe Rudi has a Hall Rating of 44, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
