was worth
50.0 Wins Above Replacement
(50.1 as a hitter and -0.4 as a pitcher)
and 36.0 Wins Above Average
(36.5 as a hitter and -0.4 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.0 WAR becomes
91.8 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 36.0 WAA becomes 36.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Stearnes 157.3 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).

148,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
