Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Riggs Stephenson made 5,136 plate appearances. Stephenson was worth 32.7 Wins Above Replacement and 15.2 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 32.7 WAR becomes 33.5 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 15.2 WAA becomes 15.8 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Stephenson 61.9 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).

Riggs Stephenson has a Hall Rating of 58, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
